AboutPhil Kelly Expertise I`m a semi-retired professional music arranger with over thirty five years in all phases of the commercial music production business. I can try to answer questions regarding music arranging, theory, orchestration , and/or composition for most acoustic ensembles .( jazz band or orchestral ) I can try to offer suggestions about studio music recording procedures and some basic MIDI applications , too. In the course of my career I`ve worked with such artists as Doc Severinsen and the old Tonight Show Band, Bill Watrous, Buddy Greco, John Gary, Mel Torme, Julius LaRosa, as well as the Pop programs of the Fort Worth, Dallas, North Carolina, and Houston Symphonies, as well as library music material for ABC, ESPN, and NFL Films.
Question I play keyboard at church. Need answer today if possible. We are flowing from one song to another with no break. First song in key of A. What is easy way to transition to B flat? Thanks
Answer Hi Shari:
First off, sorry to be so long in replying but I was in the hospital for an unplanned visit last week for several days.
Even though it's likely to be too late, the easiest way is as follows:
A MA > A MA ( G in bass ) > F7 and on to Bb piece.
keep the A on top and eventually it becomes the leading tone in the F7
chord leading you to the new key ( Bb)
