Greetings all from STM and NP Land!
We hope all is well in your world and your enjoying the beginning of preparations for the holiday season. We've been busy here with lots of exciting stuff to tell you about.
On November 4th, Tiffany competed in the National Association of Teachers of Singing Manitoba Contemporary Song Competition. She performed Aaron Copeland's Nature, The Gentlest Mother and Dream Love by Jean Coutlhard - good times and a highly appreciative audience!
On November 18th, she accompanied a fellow teacher's student singing her rendition of Purple from Bad Moods and Seven Other Super Reasons to Sing A Silly Song as part of a recital celebrating Canada Music Week. Katherine did an amazing job - dressed head-to-toe in purple to suit the song - and the audience loved it, laughing in all the right places!
And .... on November 25th Tiffany was the musical guest at the art show The Lives of Women at the Artlington Gallery in Winnipeg put on by Sharon Cory and other guest artists. It was an inspiring afternoon filled with powerful art and great conversation.
If you're looking to hear some grea choral music, The Esprit De Choeur choral group - of which Tiffany is a member - will be performing at St. John's Chapel at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg on December 8th at 7:00.
And, as the holiday season approaches, you might be looking for gifts for your loved ones. May we make a few suggestions?

It's Getting To Be That Time of Year Again
Ah, Fall! Just a few weeks away!
It's not to say we haven't been loving the summer and the chance to mellow out a bit here at STM but fall always feels like a time of resurgence - getting back into the groove, as it were. It's kind of exciting actually!
Tiffany will be starting the new lesson season in September so if you or someone you love is looking to advance their vocal skills, visit her website to learn more then contact her at info@swimmingtigress.com and book your introductory meeting. Remember, she offers in-person lessons if your in the Winnipeg area or you can study online via Skype from anywhere!
Tiffany's musical, Mocha and the Moon, is going swimmingly and is just going through some final touch-ups. She will be posting some songs shortly for you to enjoy!
And we may have some very exciting news to share soon about one of her previous projects which is now in the hands of a major film studio. Fingers crossed!
Tiffany has also been doing a lot of voice-over work for a product training company out of Ontario which has been a lot of fun! If you're looking for "the voice" for your commercial, narration or animation, listen to some demos then contact her for more information.
Well, that's about all from STM! Enjoy the rest of your summer while it lasts!

Mocha and the Moon is evolving beautifully and soon we'll be posting demos of some of the songs so you can experience them for yourself. We can't wait for you to hear them!
Well, that's where we're at - buzzing away and enjoying every moment.

Happy Monday Everyone!
Here are some updates from STM/NP land!
Tiffany had the pleasure of being a guest solost at the Joie De Vivre Singers spring concert on April 28th. The audience was wonderful and she thoroughly enjoyed singing a couple of Ukranian folk songs arranged by W.H. Anderson as well as her very popular Magical World.
She's also busy working on a new collection of songs for intermediate vocalists and a musical for young people, Mocha and the Moon, about a jersey cow named Mocha with some astronomically high aspirations!
We thought we'd share with you a poem of Tiffany's that is being set to music for the song collection, the dramatic I Have Lost My Bottle of Faerie Dust. Enjoy!
I Have Lost My Bottle Of Faerie Dust
I have lost my bottle of faerie dust
All seems grey nowThe memories are fading of a time when the world was sparkling
Once passions ran wild and free, my heart was alive
I can scarcely feel it beating
Once these feet were caressed by the dewy grass in the glow of morning
Like shards of glass the grass seems now
These eyes fixed on the curves of a leaf that had fallen to the ground.
The scent of jasmine would make me shiver with delight
These lips were enraptured by the sweet taste of a berry’s juice.
Now, tis so bland it is sour.
Laughter that once tickled my ears is tainted with a sinister tone
How cruel it sounds! It mocks me.
The stars don’t sing me to sleep.
The music is gone! The music is gone!
I no longer see my wings in the water’s reflection
I no longer feel their weight
I search in vain for the circles of stones and flowers where I used to play
How have I become separated from my kin, my home, where all was joy, all was love
Where springtime was eternal?
Oh where, where is my bottle of faerie dust?
Before all the memories disappear.
Before all colour and light is extinguished.
I must know that magic again
In NP news, we've put up Part 4 of Tabitha's Magical Voice on our new Notalotabull Press Storytime Blog. When the Grenigots discover that Tabitha's voice can save them from the dreaded nados, they want to hold her captive forever. How is she going to get home? Download your copy of the ebook at www.tiffanyprochera.com.
Tiffany as also submitted a poem to the CBC Canada Writes Poetry Contest this week so keep your fingers crossed! We would totally post the poem for you all to read but the rules say we can't, so...
Well, that's all for now! Have a great day and keep posted for more!

New Look, New NP Blog
Hi all!
We've been busy working on a new site and we're pretty pleased with the results! The new www.tiffanyprochera.com is sleeker, easily navigatable and, well, it's Purple! It still has all of the great STM and NP stuff and it's easier to find everything.
We've also launched a new blog called Notalotabull Press Storytime where you can read excerpts from Tiffany's books, poetry and up-and-coming works that haven't yet been officially released!
So check out the new site, let us know what you think and enjoy reading at Storytime.
In other news, Tiffany has been asked to be a featured soloist at the Joie De Vivre Singers spring concert on April 28th in Winnipeg. It was an honour to be asked and she's looking forward to rocking the performance!
Well, that's all for now. Have a great day and we'll see you next time!

Festival Is Over And STM Represented!
Greetings all!
Well, the Winnipeg Music Festival has come to an end and STM really shone, if we do say so ourselves!
Tiffany performed her Magical World at a trophy competition (which, incidently, she won!) and several in attendance were asking about the piece and where they could get it.
At that same moment, one of her students was performing Mr. Willywallywolowitz from Bad Moods and not only did he do a wonderful job but, rumour has it, the adjudicator wanted to buy a copy of the book!
So there you have it. It's been a great week and we at STM are just busting with pride!
In case you haven't seen it yet, here's our little commercial for Bad Moods. And this and Magical World - which will be a part of an upcoming collection of songs for intermediate vocalists - are both available for download at http://www.tiffanyprochera.com/SwimmingTigress/download_scores.htm

Bad Moods, Magical World and the Winnipeg Music Festival
Greetings all!
We've been busy here at STM and we've been having a blast!
We've released a new commercial for Bad Moods And Seven Other Super Reasons To Sing A Silly Song.
Here in Winnipeg we are nearing the end of the Winnipeg Music Festival and Tiffany has a couple of entries in the competition. She herself performed Magical World to very positive, can we say rave, reviews! And one of her students is performing Mr. Willywallywolowitz from Bad Moods later this week. Good luck, Alex!
In Notalotabull Press news, while searching for a video to place in this blog, we came across a video that someone made using one of Tiffany's poems from A Candle At Both Ends. The beginning features quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh (wow!) and Ralph Marston and then it's Tiffany. They did a lovely job! Enjoy!
