2.19Your first transposition exercise
Take this melody:
C C G G A A G
In C major that's:
1 1 5 5 6 6 5
Now transpose by degrees.
To G major
G major:
G A B C D E F♯
1 = G
5 = D
6 = E
So:
G G D D E E D
To F major
F major:
F G A B♭ C D E
1 = F
5 = C
6 = D
So:
F F C C D D C
Do this by thinking numbers, not by calculating interval distances note-by-note.
