What is Counter Point? its made up of intervals
1:1,2:1,3:1,4:1,5:1
just sounds like intervals to me

How do i write a Canon?
It seems like i Shift or nudge the melody line
and start the second melody one note from
the starting note these creates Delays?

How do i write a imitation?
i just start a 5th down from the starting note?


What are some basic Counterpoint concepts ?
example i play a C major scale C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,
counterpointer: C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D
canon: C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C

See how's its "Delay" by a interval note

Hello Walters and thank you for your post.

I suggest you to find your answers online on Wikipedia:

or by purchasing some counterpoint or composition book on Amazon.com:

Actually your questions require a lot of information to be delivered and it is outside the purpose of this forum. Anyway if any user want to add his/her advice, any idea is very welcome!

My best wishes,
