Take for example the section of music below - Jingle Bells in the key of F (1 Flat).
If you want to transpose this to the key of C - with no flat or sharp notes - we have to transpose downwards.
This is the Result in C, having transposed each note downwards by 4 pitches.
The best way to have success with transposing a melody is to create a chart. List the letter names of the scale of the original melody and what they will become. When you've finished, carefully double check each note. Your list could look something like this if you were going from F Major to C Major:
F
|
G
|
A
|
Bb
|
C
|
D
|
E
|
F
| ||
becomes

C
|
D
