Does anyone know how to ';translate'; sheet music? Lets say from piano to flute?

I want to make piano music into flute musicDoes anyone know how to ';translate'; sheet music? Lets say from piano to flute?
Yes, it's easy. Find the melody on the piano sheet music. Usually it;s for the right hand. Then play it on the flute.Does anyone know how to ';translate'; sheet music? Lets say from piano to flute?
I think you mean how to get the melody for flute. Usually its the top line soprano voice. Just play this bit.
The word is ';transpose';. The piano is a ';C'; instrument as is the flute so you can read directly off the piano music melody line (as opposed to say a trumpet which is B flat, e.g. a full step down or alto sax which is E flat)
I concur with Angele.


You can just play the highest note. Try it on piano or something first and you can rearrange it if you want.
It is exactly the same from piano to flute.
