In order to transpose Eb alto sax music to C flute, what do you do? I know that you should play 3 half steps up, but do you have any other tips for transposing?

You could also Solfege it.

Instead of trying to read each note. Figure out your starting note and then play by the intervals.

Example:
If the phrase is C, D, E, F. You could think each note (C=E,D=F,E=G,F=A) or Solfege: C=E, start on E and then go up a step, up a step, up a step.

If the music goes down a fifth then go down a fifth from wherever you are. Playing by intervals and knowing them is a very good execise and can eliminte the use of having to transpose.

Zoom, would you know how to transpose from C to B flat? In from Treble to treble and from bass to treble, both from C to b flat. That would be great~

I suppose I could just change the clef and take off the top line and add a bottom line too.

Wouldn't that work?
