A canon is one melody sung by several voices, with each voice starting a little later. The same tune repeats and overlaps, like a musical echo that keeps moving.

In the picture
- Red ribbon at the first singer’s mouth: the melody starts.
- Amber ribbon at the second singer’s mouth: the same melody starts later.
- Teal ribbon at the third singer’s mouth: the same melody starts later still.
Examples
- Singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat as a round.
- Three groups singing Frère Jacques one after another.
Key takeaways
- Every voice sings the same melody but enters at a different time.
- The overlapping voices create a woven, echoing sound.
