What is a Transposer, And How do you Become One?
How’s the Pay
I know u were probably joking man, but here is some answers to your questions:
A transposer is one who can ONLY play in one or a few keys. W/out the transpose button, they are the sorriest musicians known to man, LOL. J/K bout dat last sentence, but they are indeed garbage outside they key.
How do you become one? Just learn everything in one key and hit the transpose button for every other key. Of course, it does take an extra skill to be a good transposer. You gotta know what key to tranpose 2, how many times to hit the button, how to smootly modulate in the middle of a song using that button, etc. In the short run it's faster, but in the long run it's actually harder than learning to play in every key.
From what I hear (& see), the pay is great cuz most churches don't really give a care. As long as u can hit a note, u can start with $100 a sunday easy. The true musicians know this is not the way to go.
