Sophie is a yoga teacher, musician, and singer-songwriter. She also performs with Irish music groups. In these groups, Sophie plays an accompanying role, while also singing and composing as a singer-songwriter. Her inspiration is primarily drawn from world music and traditional Irish melodies. However, she often infuses her lyrics with a philosophical layer, aiming to convey deeper meanings and universal truths through her songs. In her lessons, the focus is on the power of music to foster personal growth, where she shares the knowledge and skills she has gained through her own musical career with the students. In her music and lessons, you will often hear natural elements in her sounds.​​​​​​​​​​

Additionally, we have opened our home to Irish musicians who wish to perform or gather for musical sessions in the Netherlands. This unique exchange of culture and music adds an extra dimension to the business.

In addition to our traditional piano accompaniment and (Sean-nós) singing, We also occasionally teach Irish dance. Our classes often feature a blend of official set dances, as they are performed in Ireland, and authentic Sean-nós steps. Sean-nós means 'the old way.'
