I play Bb Trumpet, and I learned everything pitched in Bb. I want to play the piano, but the C I play on Trumpet is a Bb on the piano. It makes it kinda weird when I'm reading piano music but the notes sound wrong to me. Are there any tips to transposition things quickly without a pen and paper?

@jello

try using a tuner with the pitch you have then play the pitch then it will tell you if it is too high or too low

i used to play cello and piano
