< Can some one please tell me how to transpose a tune from C to G or D,
Very simple. C to G: move all the notes up five or down four (c to g, d to a etc.) and make the f in the new key fsharp so that it is only half a tone lower than g (corresponding to the halftone between b and c in the old key). C to D: move all the notes up one or down seven (c to d, d to e etc.) make the f and c in the new key fsharp and csharp. Csharp to d is half a tone, corresponding to b to c in the old key. D to fsharp is a major third (four halftones, corresponding to c to e in the old key).
