First attempts at canons (need feedback)

Hi everyone,

This is my first composition to post here. These are two canons at the octave that I composed for school. I am really wanting to expand on these subjects in canon and fugues, so please give me your feedback.

PDF score, please.

My Finale is an earlier version and lots of people here use Sibelius or something else.

Thanks, and sorry. I do appreciate it - they are very short!

They're pretty good, as far as I can tell. The only thing I can say is you tend to use a lot of large leaps. I think it would sound better (and be easier to play) if you used more stepwise motion and kept the sevenths and octaves to a minimum. Nice overall!
