Transposing in Minor Keys

Like music written in major keys, anything in a minor key can be transposed to other keys. The following example shows the progression from example 70 transposed to the key of E minor. Once you have learned the progression in this key, write out the scale tone chords in the remaining eleven minor keys and transpose the progression to those keys as well.
