Heard note from singer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenor

'singer' is the definition.
(I know that tenor is a type of singer)

'heard note' is the wordplay.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'note' becomes 'tenner' (ten pound note).
'tenner' sounds like 'TENOR'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tenor that I've seen before include "Carreras, for example" , "Voice classification of Jose Carreras" , "One singing" , "range of 14 across [GIGLI]" , "Pavarotti, maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
