Like the enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa Melody is warm and dignified, with a lovely, lyrical sound. Students who enjoy beautifully melancholy music will love how this piece envelopes them in gorgeous nuance.
What level is Mona Lisa Melody?
Mona Lisa Melody is in F Major and set in common time. The smallest note value in this piece is the eighth note. Mona Lisa Melody features harmonic pedaling throughout the piece and is written in so students don’t have to guess where to lift. The biggest interval is a seventh. The piece is carefully edited with pedagogical fingering and articulations, making this an excellent teaching or recital piece!
Bonus recording and link to exhibit included!
Mona Lisa Melody comes with a bonus mp3 recording performed by Wendy Stevens. You are permitted to send this example performance track to your students to help them learn the piece.
Plus, a QR code is included on the first page of the PDF (not pictured in the sample) so students can scan the code and it will take them directly to the performance recording of the piece. This can help them be inspired and learn the piece even more effectively without you having to send the mp3 to them!
In addition to the recording, the QR code links to a special page where a copy of the painting exists and also a link to an interesting exhibit about the painting that students of all ages will find interesting!
