Transposition
In grade 3, transposition is exactly the same as in lower grades.
The only tricky thing in Grade 3 Transposition is if you are given a with
accidentals, then you must remember to add accidentals to the same notes in
your melody.
The accidentals are not always the same from one key to another.
