Testimonials
“The harp is one of the most beautiful instruments in the world. Melodic, mesmerising music, conjuring wonderful images of traveling bards in a mystical land. To fully appreciate the beauty of the sound, the instrument must be in the hands of virtuoso. Siobhan Flynn is such a musician. In her hands the instrument comes alive but performance is only part of it. Siobhan has a great skill in selecting an appropriate repertoire. She is a thorough professional with a wonderfully engaging personality.”

“Siobhan provided us with a wonderful performance at the “International Women’s Forum” in St. Laurence’s church on TU Dublin’s Grangegorman Campus. Leaders from business, the public sector and academia were wowed by Siobhan's performance. Her musical contributions added a special sparkle to the evening's proceedings. So much so that, we didn’t hesitate in contacting Siobhan to request she perform again, at the special event in aid of “International Women’s Day” in the Richmond Centre on March 8th 2019.”

“We recently got married and Siobhan played the harp at our church ceremony. Siobhan was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the first point of contact Siobhan was so lovely to deal with and was very knowledgeable. She was able to guide me in the process and give me information about how it would all work, all the while wanting to make our ceremony personal to us. Siobhan played a mixture of religious and non religious songs for us and was able to play all the songs we requested. So many of our guests commented how beautiful the harp sounded and looked on our wedding day. I would definitely recommend Siobhan and we hope to be able to hear her play again one day.”

“I am delighted to recommend Siobhan as a great tutor of the harp. Her understanding and love of music is evident through her teaching. Siobhan is always patient and encouraging- which I appreciate as a mature student.
She is skilled at breaking down a tune and building it back up over time to create not just the tune, but all the feeling & expression of the piece. I look forward to her classes and always come away feeling enthusiastic.”
