Holy Moly Wow Wow Wow

Late Intermediate level.

About this song:

Sometimes, I use an exciting sound and words when my students have a good practice. I’d say “Holy, Moly, you are very good” “Proud of you”. One day, while I was teaching, a thought flashed through my mind. I thought maybe it was a good topic to write a song about the words, “Holy, Moly”.

In this song, in the first four measures, I use the notes following the syllables of the words, “Holy Moly wow wow wow”. Therefore, there are seven beats sounded in every two measures. Another thing is that I feel the words express “wonder” or “marvel”. I used 2nds to create that “wonder” or “marvel” sound on measure 5 to 6 (major 2nd). The 2nd interval movement also appears in measures 1 to 4. In measures 36 and 37 (minor 2nd), hold the notes down with pedal, you will hear a long “WOW” sound in the end.

When playing this song, please play andante. The andante (walking speed) with the “2nd interval” movement will create a feeling of

wonder and marvel. Please do not play fast at all. It is going to take away the “WOW and WOW” feeling.

This is a great song for your teen students.
