The purpose of this page is to make it easy to transpose between keys within the major or natural minor scales. Simply replace chords from the original scale with those from the same table column in the desired new scale, i.e. maintaining the same intervals in the progression.
The information here is nothing new, just what I have learned from other sources. I believe the presentation is original however, instead of the 'circle of fifths' here are tables to show the structure of the keys.
