1 The Song Tree Spring 2013 Little Red Riding Hood Tutorial Seven: Oh Happy Days. Hi there! I m Sarah-Jane and welcome back for the next part of our musical story about Little Red Riding Hood! We re going to learn our final song today and it s called Oh happy day! I wonder why everyone s feeling so happy! Let s find out! Follow the words, as I sing the chorus. Oh happy day! The wolf has gone away, Come on now, let s have some fun, This is a really happy, lively song. The animals are having a big party because the wolf has gone and he s never coming back! So you need to sing with big smiles on your faces. There are some notes in the chorus that jump up high! Oh, happy day! The place where the music jumps up higher is: Ha - ppy! Put your hand up when I sing ppy! Ready? Ha - ppy! Great! Once more Ha ppy! Good! Now let s sing the chorus together. So, sitting up and ready to sing? 1

2 Oh happy day! The wolf has gone away, Come on now, let s have some fun, At the end of the chorus, the music goes up. Like this: Now the big bad wolf has gone! And the notes here are quite fast! So you really need to move your tongues and lips quickly! Sing this last line with me. We ll sing a little slower to start with. Once more, a bit faster Now the big, bad wolf has gone! Now we ll go onto the first verse. Listen to me singing it first: In this verse there s a pause after each line when you don t sing. It s called a rest. Listen: Rest, rest, Rest, rest, Move your hips! Rest, rest, Rest, rest. During the rests you can do some actions! Everyone is celebrating and having a party! You can clap your hands, stamp your feet and swing your hips in time to the music! First of all, let s clap our hands! Like this! I clapped three times like this. 2

3 You do that with me: One, two, three. Once more everyone together. Great! Now let s sing: And don t forget to clap! Once more Well done! Now let s stamp our feet like this: So stand up, ready to sing that line and stamp your feet. Everyone standing up? Ready and Did you stamp just three times, like this? One, two, three! Let s sing the line once more. And after that, you can swing your hips from side to side to the wolfy beat! So, let s go from the beginning of verse one and then go on to sing the chorus. And don t forget to clap your hands and stamp your feet. 3

4 Singers: Singers: Well done and stay standing where you are. Now we ll move on to the second verse. The second part of the verse is just the same as verse one, but the first part is different. Listen to me singing it and be ready to join in on: Listening first Stay standing everyone. Perhaps you noticed that this verse is longer than verse one. This is a song where the words get longer and longer, as we keep adding new words to it! We re going to add some more actions! Like before, you do the actions during the rests the parts of the music when you don t sing. So let s sing the first part of verse two slowly now, without the music to begin with. And we ll do the actions as well. So, ready everyone sing with me from: Wave your arms! Wave your arms! Wave your arms! Crouch down low! Now crouch down low! Now jump up high again! Well done! Let s practise that again. So standing up ready? 4

5 Wave your arms!wave your arms! Crouch down low! Now crouch down low! Now jump up high again! Now we ve practised the first part of verse two, let s go on to sing the whole verse with the actions. Get ready to sing again. I hope you remembered to clap your hands: One, two, three! And I wonder if you noticed something else here the tune is repeated. Like this: Wave your arms! Crouch down low! The notes here are always the same. They re the same all through the verse: Sing with me. The notes are very close together just one step apart! 5

6 Once more Let s sing verse two once more and then go on to sing the chorus. Singers: Oh happy day! The wolf has gone away, Come on now, let s have some fun, Phew! Well done! Sit down everyone! After all that great singing it s time for a rest while we listen to the very last part of the story. Red Riding Hood has just discovered that Grandma isn t really Grandma at all it s the wolf, dressed up in her nighty, pretending to be Grandma! I hope she s not about to be eaten! Let s find out how the story ends STORY LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: PART SEVEN So that s the end of our story of Little Red Riding Hood. I m glad that there s a happy ending and that the big bad wolf has gone forever! It s time now to learn the last verse of our song, that s verse three. The verses in this song get longer and longer - and this one is the longest of all! But only the first part of verse three is different; the last part is just the same as verse two.
