Hi all!

So, you may already know that I'm a composer, writer, and voice artist - I've always had a hand in all of these different mediums (or is it media?) even as a child. As a voice artist, I love getting the chance to use my voice in all of the ways! Since 2000, I have worked on countless commercials, video games, audiobooks, animation, podcasts, and even spent 3 years as an on-air host with my own weekly radio show.

Here are some clips of previous projects and, if I can serve your project in any way, visit www.tiffanyprochera.com for more information! And, of course, if you're looking for music for your project, I've got plenty of tracks available for license on Pond 5 https://www.pond5.com/artist/tiffanyprochera .

Hot off the presses!

"Gonna Keep Going" is a paired down motivational mantra track about having a dream and going for it, even if you don't where things will lead.

I tried something a little different with this one. It's just vocals and hand percussion - a.k.a. snapping and clapping. That's just how it came to me a few days ago. :-) Enjoy, and if you're interested in using this track in a project, you can find it on Pond 5 at https://www.pond5.com/royalty-free-music/item/297896224-gonna-keep-going

Gonna Keep Going

There's a place I want to be
And getting there is up to me.
Maybe it won't be as it seems
But a girl's gotta have a dream.

So, I'm gonna keep going from here to there.
Gonna keep going. If I fail I don't care.
I'll change direction or try again.
It's gonna happen. Don't know when
But I know I'm getting nowhere if I don't keep going.
I know I'm getting nowhere if I don't keep going .

I'm heading for some bluer skies,
Some new views for these tired eyes,
Prove to myself that I can grow,
Have a vision and make it so.

So, I'm gonna keep going from here to there
Gonna keep going. If I fail I don't care.
I'll change direction or try again.
It's gonna happen. Don't know when
But I know I'm getting nowhere if I don't keep going.
I know I'm getting nowhere if I don't keep going.
I know I'm getting nowhere if I don't keep going.
So, I keep going.
So, I keep going.

Happy Monday, all!

So, I'm a fan of astronomy - the contemplation of the immensity of the universe is fascinating! - and today is a special day in the astronomical world when Mars is set to be occulted (covered) by the moon. In honour of the occasion, here's the instrumental "Heading to Mars", available for licensing on Pond 5 at https://www.pond5.com/artist/tiffanyprochera. Visit www.tiffanyprochera.com for more info.

The Wilder Family loves Christmas and always puts on a brilliant display with dancing trees, singing lightbulbs, synchronized music - all to the delight of visitors who come from miles around to see the show every year.

But the night before their display is supposed to officially go live for all to see on December 1st, something happens that has the family questioning everything....

Ant that's all you're going to get for now. ;-)

This is the synopsis for the first of a brand now holiday story collection I'm working on. I just love being in the holiday spirit, so why not keep it going all year long?

Feel free to visit www.tiffanyprochera.com for more information about other holiday-related projects!

Happy New Year, all!

I don't know about you, but doesn't it feel like 2024 just flew by? Whooosh! And here we are!

Now, I always like to reflect on the year that was and some great things happened in Swimming Tigress Land in 2024!

In September, I released a new collection for young singers, I Don't Like Winter and Other Songs to Celebrate the Winter Season, full of songs I'm incredibly proud of and had such a good time writing!

A fellow music teacher's student won her category in a NATS competition with my song, "Magical World". She did such a fabulous job and I'm so happy for her!

Songs of mine were part of the playlists at our local Teddy Bear Picnic and the Winter Wonderland. Supercool to be a part of these events!

And there's something really exciting in the works that I'm not even allowed to tell you about right now but I promise you'll be the first to know! :- )

Do you have a highlight you'd wish to share? Post in the comments!

There's so much more goodness in store for us all in 2025! So, raise a glass to a happy, healthy and prosperous year ahead! Arriba! Arriba!

Wishing you all the best,

Tiffany :-)

December 12th is Gngerbread House Day!

Why I was young, we had some friends who would come over on Christmas Eve and us kids would make a gingerbread house - a work of art in our minds, I'm sure. Then they would come back on New Year's Day and we would smash it with a hammer! Those memories will always stay with me.

So here's a poem I wrote a couple of years ago in honour of the occasion, included in the ebook, 24 Days In December: A Poetic Journey Through the Advent Season.

Did you, or do you, make gingerbread houses? Share your memories in the comments!

Memories on National Gingerbread House Day

Memories from eons past
Family, and friends like family,
Gathered around the table on the eve of Christmas,
Creating a glorious edifice of delight
At least our delusions deemed it so
Gingerbread walls, gingerbread roof
Adorned with gumdrops, candy canes, licorice, chocolate of all sorts
More Is more!
Flavour over taste!
Some trees in the yard? More to enjoy later!
We marvel at the sight, at our collective brilliance.
We have done well!
Seven days later, we reconvene on the eve of the New Year
To raze what we have created,
As all things must thing come to an end,
With the blow of a hammer,
So we may enjoy the sweetness of our labours.

As we enter the apex of the holiday season, here's a little reminder that you can make the season anything you want it to be - as quiet or as festive, as busy or as simple as you'd like.
This poem is featured in my ebook, 24 Days in December: A Poetic Journey Through The Advent Season, available on Kindle, Amazon, and at www.tiffanyprochera.com

Make The Season

It certainly has snuck up on us, this last month of the year
That time of celebration, of joy, and of cheer
But in all the hullabaloo, in all the crazy scene
Let's take a breath and look at what it all really means.
It's not about the presents, though they can certainly be nice.
It's not even about the chocolate, all the sugar and the spice.
It's about that special magic that can come in many forms.
It's in getting and giving feelings so fuzzy and warm.
And it's for each of us to decide what fills our souls with joy.
It's up to every man and woman, every girl and boy.
It may be the parties, all the music and the lights.
It may be some cocoa on a snowy winter's night.
It may be an escape on a tropical holiday
Or hitting the slopes on a hill not quite so far away.
So, if they try to tell you how to holiday right, you have my permission to groan.
Remember that the magic is all yours and make the season your own.

Here's a fun poem inspired by one of my morning walks. Sadly, the house didn't put up a purple tree this year but I still have the memory. This poem is featured in my ebook, 24 Days in December: A Poetic Journey Through The Advent Season, available on Kindle, Amazon, and at www.tiffanyprochera.com

Ode To A Purple Tree

To the possessor of this glorious tree
I graciously give thanks to thee
For bucking trends of red and green
Or the garish multi-coloured scene
Thou has bedecked thine arb with royal hue
When so few would be wont to do
The colour of the violet
Of magic, of the amethyst
Perhaps remnants of a more frightening time
But 'tis no true concern of mine
'Tis the hue of which I am most fond
And if I could wave a magic wand
And send you blessings through the glass
For a joyous year to pass
But, alas, I am a mortal mere
And so I leave my blessings here
To the possessor of this glorious tree
I graciously give thanks to thee.

It's ! I love wildlife - the deer, rabbits, squirrels, foxes, and birds I see on my morning walks. But and we can't forget about the tiny wildlife - the bugs! Here's the title song - and one of my favourites - from my children's album, Ladybug Crossings.

It was inspired by a real life event when I was walking down the sidewalk, almost stepped on a beautiful little ladybug and thought, you know, they should have ladybug crossings. Enjoy! And you can get the album download on Amazon, CD Baby, and at www.tiffanyprochera.com!

Happy Tuesday, all!

I got a real treat this past weekend.

A young singer performed my song, "Magical World" in a contemporary art song competition. It was such a delight to watch her perform and she did such a great job she won her category! Here are the lyrics to this magical song!

Magical World

I see angels descending with each ray of the sun.
I see faeries playing in the grass.
I hear the wind as it whispers my name.
I hear "good mornings" from the butterflies as they pass.

I see the world as a magical place
where any and all things may be.
Won't you take my hand and come explore this world with me?

I feel the flowers as they are striving to grow.
I hear them asking for sunshine and rain.
I see diamonds sparkling in the winter snow
And pearls of dew when spring returns again.


I see the world as a magical place
where any and all things may be.
Won't you take my hand and come explore this world with me?

Won't you take my hand and come explore this world with me?

For a little winter fun, now that the snow has started to fall over here and we're feeling the chill and, well, maybe I was annoyed at having to wear my parka and legging under my pants this morning, here are the lyrics to the song for kids from my latest collection, I Don't Like Winter and Other Songs to Celebrate the Winter Season. Enjoy and feel free to visit www.tiffanyprochera.com for more information!

But first, what is your favourite piece of winter clothing! Share in the comments!

So Many Clothes

Winter can be fun there is so much you can do
Skiing, skating, sliding, you can strap on some snowshoes
One thing I don't really like but it's just how it goes
You have to put on so many clothes!

Socks and sweaters and boots and hats and mitts and scarves and
Snowpants or long johns - so much to put on
And make sure you've got the time o r else you might be left behind
Oh no! No playing in the snow.

No t-shirt, shorts and sandals and heading out the door.
No, when it's cold outside you've gotta put on so much more.
And it can get real heavy and you can't see your nose
When you're bundled up in so many clothes

Socks and sweaters and boots and hats and mitts and scarves and
Snowpants or long johns - so much to put on
And when you've got it on you know that's when you've really got to go.
So then you take it off again.

But it doesn't last forever
This skiing, skating, snowshoe kind of weather
So you put on all the layers and when you're finally done
Then you can go out and have some fun. But first it's...

Socks and sweaters and boots and hats and mitts and scarves and
Snowpants or long johns - so much to put on
And then finally you can go
And have some fun out in the snow.

Let's go have fun out in the snow!

Do you love music? So do I! Do you love Canadian music? So do I! Crazy, huh?

November 17-23 is Canada Music Week, a time where music educators and their students come together to celebrate music made in Canada.

As a music teacher myself, I know how important the music we teach can be. Not only does it affect the skills our students learn and develop but it can be a big factor in the trajectory of their lessons. When students enjoy what they're singing, it makes them want to continue and your time together is so much more productive.

So, years ago, I decided to use my background as a composer to create music for young singers like my students and have developed a catalogue of books and solo pieces for students at all levels.

I invite you to visit www.tiffanyprochera.com to learn about the collections available, many of which you can also find on Sheet Music Plus.

Happy Canada Music Week!

Today is I Love To Write Day!

You know, a little while ago I was feeling a type of way and told myself I wasn't going to create new projects anymore - no music, no books, no scripts.

Well, that abstinence lasted for all of a day. You see, when it comes to writing, there is such joy for me in conceiving of a story, of discovering characters and their journeys, of hoping that the journey will inspire others, make them laugh, make them cry, give them new awareness.

I don't think I could stop writing even if I tried.

So, here is my declaration. No matter what I might say in the future ;-) I DO, INDEED, LOVE TO WRITE!

Are you writer? What is your favourite part of the process? Share in the comments!

Good morning, everyone!

Are you in the mood for some holiday cheer? I've gotcha covered!

Enjoy this fun selection of music and poetry that will get you in the Christmas spirit! Sit back, grab yourself a cup of hot cocoa stirred with a candy cane and topped with marshmallows (because everything's better with marshmallows), and take a few moments to embrace the joy of the season!

13/11/2024

In anticipation of my big serving of holiday cheer, here's a poem inspired by a morning walk when I was mesmerized by everything around me but didn't want to be. Enjoy!

I Don't Like Winter

The peaceful stillness of a morning walk with the snow tickling my cheeks as it falls

But I don't like winter,

The odd delight in coordinating scarf with hat with jacket with gloves

But I don't like winter,

The gentle trill of the Bohemian Waxwings as they rest and feed on a tree full of bright red berries

But I don't like winter,

The way those berries stand out so vibrantly against the ubiquitous white

But I don't like winter,

Memories of heading down the ski slopes,
a hot chocolate topped with extra whipped cream waiting at the bottom of the hill

But I really don't like winter,

It's on days like this, as I'm watching the rising sun illuminate a half-frozen river,
trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue,

That I must struggle to remind myself that I really don't like winter.
