you are invited to compose a canon! each submission will be considered for inclusion in this year’s repertoire, but not guaranteed.

amateurs and non-musicians are especially encouraged to submit!

things to keep in mind as you compose:

  • for help, use the tutorial linked here or find another one that is useful to you

  • keep it in a comfortable singing range

  • if you need a notation software, musescore is free

  • family friendly lyrics

  • PDFs only

  • short and simple pieces tend to be most accessible, but follow your creative heart!

  • no AI please

  • email questions to aroundkccanonfestival@gmail.com
