Bethan Griffiths
What instruments do you play?
Harp & Piano
How did you get into music?
I started piano lessons age 7 after playing around on a keyboard at home. A couple of years later I started harp lessons and have loved it ever since!
What has been your favourite musical experience?
Performing for Prince Charles during my time at the Royal College of Music in London was pretty special! I have also been very lucky to have recorded at Abbey Road Studios with a full orchestra as well as an ensemble of 40 harps (imagine the logistics!!)
What do you like to do outside of teaching?
I love performing, particularly in a group or orchestra. I also enjoy travelling, walking my dog Charlie and am a tea & cake enthusiast!
What is a fun fact about you?
I attend a weekly ballet class and have just been part of a dance show at Theatr Clwyd!
Do you have any ties to Flintshire?
I grew up in Flintshire and learnt harp through Flintshire Music Service. I have wonderful memories of playing with Harp Ensemble in county concerts.
