Songs they'll love to sing and you'll love to teach!

"Cheeky Chickadee", the new superfun song for young singers ( and the follow-up to "Ginny the Giraffe") is all about trying to decipher the calls of these adorable birds!

This comes from a personal experience of noticing the changes in the sounds and wondering what they meant.

They are making a different call right now and someone suggested they are looking for love rather than just complaining about how cold they are! Such fun!

With a jazzy, bluesy vibe - and even a bit of whistling - this song is sure to delight students, teachers, and audiences!

Do you have a favourite bird song? "Yellow Bird" perhaps? I tried singing "Rockin' Robin" for the birds in my neighborhood but they weren't exactly feeling it. That's okay!

Rehearsal tracks are available. It's going to be part of a larger collection I'm calling It's a Zoo in Here but you can get your digital copy of the song now on Sheet Music Plus, Sheet Music Direct, and at https://tiffanyprochera.com/cheeky-chickadee/ where you can also find more song collections and a la carte items!

Happy 100th Birthday to the great, David Attenborough, a champion of the planet who is still as spry as a spring chicken and who made me afraid of lily pads!

Many happy returns!

David Attenborough on the origins of music. ❤️

Speaking to Classic FM in 2011, the broadcaster and naturalist reflected on what he called one of science’s enduring mysteries: the human larynx. “If you hear a coloratura soprano singing, how is it that we possess the apparatus to produce such extraordinary sound?” he said, noting that the larynx’s remarkable range extends far beyond the needs of ordinary speech.

Now, while I am known more for my holiday music and works for young singers, I have written music for more advanced vocalists and other ensembles.

Dreams, Magic, and Other Realities is a collections of songs for soprano voice and "Magical World' helped a singer win a National Association of Teachers of Singing competition. I may have won something with it myself. :-)

These are songs about wishes, fanciful ideas, and longing that were honestly a dream to write. You can learn more and get your copies at https://tiffanyprochera.com/dreams-magic-and-other-realities/ . But just a note that, while I may have few hard copies left to send out, the digital copy is your best option.

Songs they'll love to sing and you'll love to teach!

I hear your songs in the morning on my walk.
Oh, how I wish that you and I could talk!
You sound so pretty with your call.
I wish they had it playing inside the mall.
I think I may have heard you on my grandma's birdie clock.

Introducing "Cheeky Chickadee", the new superfun song for young singers (with piano accompaniment) about trying to decipher the calls of these adorable birds! Are they saying hello? Are they falling in love? Are they hatching a secret plan? Who knows?

Rehearsal tracks are available and it's going to be part of a larger collection called It's a Zoo in Here. Check out "Ginny The Giraffe", the first release from the collections.

Hot off the presses! Introducing my brand new song for young singers, "Ginny The Giraffe",

• "Ginny The Giraffe" is a superfun song for young singers about the chats had with a picture of a giraffe in a bathtub on the bathroom wall, inspired by my own lavatory art.
• There is both a duet version that features actual singing by Ginny (which can be performed by the singer, the collaborative pianist, or even the singer's teacher) and a solo version that does not directly include the character of Ginny .
• There are rehearsal tracks with and without the vocal line included.

This song is going to be part of a larger collection, It's A Zoo In Here, to be released later this year.

The song and its rehearsal tracks, along with my other collections and some special occasion tunes, are available on Sheet Music Plus and Sheet Music Direct. It will soon be up on my home site, www.tiffanyprochera.com but visit for more music and song collections,
