From the Foreword: “This book helps students grasp the fundamentals of transposing through practical experience. Scale degree numbers are used for transposing. This contributes to an understanding of scale construction.

The student gets first hand experience by writing the notes in various transposed keys and then playing what has been written. The music manuscript writing reinforces accurate note reading and understanding of rhythms. Short, familiar melodic excerpts are used.”
