I can transpose from C to B flat very easily, just read a note higher and add 2
sharps. Therefore, the cheat sheets, fake books that are in C will be no
problem for my B flat trumpet and is obviously no problem for the keyboards.
Most fake books have the chord which can help the Bass player. I have hundreds
of 32 bar cheat sheats with the melody and chords that I can xerox for others
to read. I agree, we need to know exactly who is coming and who is playing
what. I can play trumpet, keyboard, and bass. I think it would be fun for those
who play multiple instruments to switch off with others. If I play half the
time and just listen half the time that will be fine. John plays accordian but
doesn't read music, he plays by ears so he will probably be able to play some
songs he is familiar with, like holiday songs and polkas but may want to sit
out on some he doesn't know. Also I have a tamborine, marachas, clavas, bongos,
and other rhythm instruments that some PAS people may want to try on some latin
songs we can play. I will get together some sheet music and bring it to the
Dec 6th PAS meeting to give to Terri and Ed and Bruce. If they think some of
them are ok, they can make copies or I can make copies. I understand that Ed
has some Jewish songs like Ha Va Na Gila (bad spelling). Any fake book songs or
cheat sheets Ed and Bruce and Terri want to bring is fine also. Plus anyone in
PAS can bring music and we can try it, just try to have it in C with chords and
make extra copies.

Tim,
That's kinda what i was asking.. Can those who wish to play
in the Jam, transpose or use Treble or Bass clef music?
So, the question is: what is needed for those who can't do
just normal G clef, or Treble clef and F clef or Bass clef
written music?
My Dad and Bruce are willing to do the transposing, but
we need to know now... can't wait until December gets
here to have time to do this.
And I'm not familiar with enough instruments to know what
the tuning would be for some of the instruments you would
find in an orchestra, for example. Saxaphone - i know many
saxophones have different tunings and I believe you
read from differently written music, but I"m not sure
about those. I don't play or teach the sax.
Bruce does... so he would know...
Sorry to hear, Tim, that you can't make it to this first Jam.
Maybe the next one will be more on a date you can attend.
Enjoy your trip and thanks for the input.
More input is apprecaited.
Terri

I think you need to consider more than just treble or bass clef (G clef and F
clef were archaic terms when I was in school in 1970â :-D). The real question
is one of transposition -
If you're just looking at C instruments - Piano, normally tuned guitar and
bass, Flute, Xylophone, or megaphone (voice), you'll need more that the simple
song-book sheet music. Alto Sax is Eb, Tenor Sax, Clarinet, Trumpet are all
Bb... Unless Sam can sight-transpose or has a C Piccolo Trumpet, his music
will need to be transposed for a Bb instrument.
Since music is what I did before I became an engineer, I thought I'd at least
remind you of that little issue :-). Sorry I can't be there, but It's still
not possible to be on 2 continents (let alone 2 cities) at the same time.
