How do you transpose the scale? (For Transposing Instruments, i.e. Concert Bb is not your instrument's Bb)
Basically, all you need to do is transpose the first note... For example, Concert Bb is Horn's F major..., F is the 5th note of Concert Bb. So if Mr Chiang asks for , lets say, A major, you (if you're in the Horn section), will have to count 5 notes up of A major, which means, A B C# D E F# G# A. Therefore, Horn's section Concert A major is their E major.
Let's get another example. Alto Sax's general tuning note (Concert Bb) is G. G is the 6th note of Concert Bb. If asked to play Concert Db major, 6th note of Db would be Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Db. Therefore, Alto Sax's Concert Db major scale would be their Bb major scale.
