    There is one cannon and a cannon is when two instruments play one after the other. The bass is clef. It's quite short. The background base is piano and violin I think.

  7. I've already done this but it doesn't seem to be showing up????
    Canon is when 2 or more instruments play the same pattern one after another. I can hear canon within Pachabell's canon. The main features of a ground bass are repetitive, 4-8 bars long and low. It is played by low instruments - like a tuba, left hand on the piano, double bass or synthesiser. India

    A cannon is a piece of music in the background of a song with 2 or more musical instruments that play the same part at the same time. I can hear the cannon in this song.
    1. A cannon repeats the same tune
    2. A cannon is stays at the same speed
    3. Is always played by the same instruments throughout the song.

  12. Tom, a canon requires two instruments but they do not play the same part at the same time. Try again.
