Or, as a way to help you learn the keys, just play one bar in the key that it is written in, then just try it one note lower. I"m sure you know Sara really well, so you'll know when it sounds right or wrong. Have fun and congratulations. It's great that you are learning.

I am ABSOLUTE beginner. This is my first piece to learn, and I know I'm going about it in a way that is contrary to what every music teacher would recommend. I so not to a point where I can transpose by sight. I'll have to get the music written out. Luckily, as was pointed out, it's basically the same three phrases repeated at various intervals. If I can get those three phrases transposed, I'm Gold.
