Description

Every middle school orchestra student wants to play Pachelbel’s Canon—except maybe the cellists! But this special arrangement ensures that every instrument gets a chance to play the melody while offering five different levels so students can progress at their own pace.

💡 How It Works:

All levels fit together so students can learn in unison. As students become familiar with the variations and structure, teachers can challenge them with a new level or guide them in playing it as a true canon. All levels can be performed together, though levels 3-5 sound the most polished.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:

✔ Perfect for differentiation—students start at Canon 1 or 2 and level up to Canon 3, 4, or 5 when ready
✔ Canon 5 is the original violin part, while Canon 3 keeps most of the melody without shifting or tricky 32nd notes
✔ Labeled sections (A–M) help students track variations and build skills progressively
✔ Smoother string crossings in easier levels allow students to understand the piece before advancing
