First attempt at a Canon

I was talking to my guiar teacher about canons today and thought I'd have pop at one:

No idea if it's theoreticly correct, that's why I'm posting it! :unsure:

Thanks, Mark

You did alright. For a first canon, it was really good.

Thanks for the feedback guys,

Chris, it was only 4 measures long 'cause i didn't see the point in spending an hour writing a 32 bar canon only to find I'd done it wrong.

Thanks, Mark

Composition sometimes pushes you to take risks and chances, and to always let these chances slip away is unwise.

I don't quite understand why you've said that, could you perhaps explain a little better?

Thanks, Mark

He saying that you should take risks and not be afraid that you'll do something wrong.

Words to live by, I say.

Hi Mark.

There is a very very simple way to write canon. I'll try to explain it clearly... if you want you canon at a distance of two measures for example... you write the first two measures (in staff 1) and you copy it in the other staff line (number 2) two measures later and do the counterpoint on the first staff considering the two mesures of the staff two... then you copy these two new measures of the staff one to the staff two but two measures farther...

ahaha !... it seems very complexe maybe but it's childish to do.

I send you examples attached... it's not very good examples since I wrote that very fast... but it gives you an ideas of the possibilities.

Or something like that...
