Piano Transcribe Notes
Transcribing music is a valuable skill that will make you a better composer, listener, arranger, and ensemble player. However, it can be a difficult process to learn. It requires patience and practice. It is best to start with music that is not too complex. Eventually, you will be able to transcribe more challenging pieces.
Whether you want to transcribe for your own use or publish it, you will need to determine the key signature, time signature, and instrumentation. This will help you create a template for your transcriptions (which can be done on manuscript paper or with notation software).
Once you have all the information you need, you can begin to work on the piece. The first thing you will need to do is slow down the music. This is a feature offered by many transcription services or you can do it yourself using any music editing tool. This will give you more time to listen and process the notes.

How Do You Piano Transcribe Notes?
If you are having trouble figuring out a chord, try playing the bass line of the song or instrument you are trying to transcribe. This will let you hear the bass note and figure out what the chord is built upon. Then you can rework the chord by changing the notes until it sounds correct and close to the original recording. This may take some time but it will help you understand how the chords and notes work together.

Another good step is to mark the key signature on your music staff. This will let you know what key the song is in and will also help you determine if any sharps or flats need to be added. It is also a good idea to learn solfege (the system of learning intervals by ear) as it will be extremely helpful when transcribing. If you are unsure what the interval is between two notes, just tap your hand in time with the beat of the piece. You will quickly be able to tell if they are eighth notes or triplet sixteenths.
For melodies, try to find the root of the tune and then listen for the intervals that make it unique. For example, if you hear a perfect fifth then you will know it is a major melody. You can then start to fill in the rest of the note values on the music staff. If the song is in C major then you would put a G on the F line, for example.
Some people suggest that you should not transcribe at all but I disagree. It is a great way to improve your listening skills and learn how to play by ear. It can even be a good substitute for studying theory.
Transcribing is much like a jigsaw puzzle. You should always start with the easiest parts of the piece and then work your way up to the more complicated parts. Once you get the easier parts down, it will help you to understand how the harder parts are constructed.
