I Transposed FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEE into all 12 keys. Who wants to try it? 🙃🙃🐝
Wouldn't it be a cool party trick if you could play flight of the bumblebee in ANY KEY? Get all 12 keys here.
Being able to play it at all - even the first line - is a major accomplishment on flute! in the original key!
But my music teacher Philip said, "Any song you truly want to master? You should learn to play it in all keys." Wow, was he right - what a great way to train your ears!!
I've never performed Flight of the Bumblebee. But I did study it for a while in high school - and I found that my chromatic scale was rapidly improving!! The challenge of playing it made it more fun to practice my chromatic scales. Watch out for those whole steps in there!!
It's a really great study all on its own in the original key - starting on E... But since I was thinking that I want to further improve my full-range chromatic scales this year, I thought: what would happen if I transposed it to all keys and practiced each one a few minutes each month???
So I did!!!
I found it in the MuseScore archives and was able to relatively easily transpose it to all keys!! And I'm sharing them with you - you can access it here!! Who wants to try it with me?? How many minutes can you handle per week?
PS - Made a version with markings indicating when to go down and up and colored brackets to indicate those pesky non-chromatic intervals hoping it might expedite the memorization process!!
