Fiona sings her way to success at Flynn Performing Arts

Overnight success usually comes from an awful lot of hard work and for Fiona Flynn and her students that’s certainly the case.

It may seem like everything the talented soprano touches turns to gold, but behind the scenes at her music school, Flynn Performing Arts, it takes time as well as talent to bring out the best in her students.

The waiting list is long to get into the school that Fiona established six years ago – but that’s no real surprise.

Scrolling through its Facebook page brings up post after post on the terrific achievements by her students, from Feis to TV shows, to stage performances for the school and even some children performing across the water in the West End.

For this week’s podcast, Fiona tells us all about her journey from the Ulster orchestra to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, as she built the career that she loves.

She speaks about the hard work that goes into any performance, the pride she feels for her students achievements – big or small, and tells us whether she believes anyone can carry a tune -or not!
