About Soundberry
Soundberry is a family-run music school based in Gorey, Co. Wexford, founded by working musicians and educators Gustavo de Morais and Kasia Eliasz. Between us, we bring over two decades of experience teaching, performing and creating music with children and families across Ireland.We believe something simple: every child is born musical. Our job isn't to put music into children — it's to awaken what's already there and help it grow. That belief shapes everything we do, from one-to-one lessons in your home to whole-class programmes in primary schools and our baby music classes in Gorey.
Testimonials
"Gustavo was our son's first guitar teacher when he was 6. He was amazing, he inspired Matthew to become the guitarist he is today. I'd totally recommend him."
Jerry and Blathnaid Mc Groarty
Gustavo de Morais
Director / Founder
Gustavo has been teaching music for over ten years — with families, in primary schools around Ireland, in music schools and summer camps. A professional jazz guitarist performing across Ireland, he also runs baby music workshops and performs music shows for children aged 3 and up. He is endlessly fascinated by the research on how babies and young children respond to music — a fascination that recently became personal, when he became a dad.
Kasia Eliasz
Director
Kasia is a musician, performance director and inclusive arts specialist. She is the Artistic Director of Ta Tum Tum!, a samba music project for young children, founder of what is today the Kildare Jazz Festival, and a music educator with Music Generation Kildare. Her work with children — from multi-sensory theatre to school residencies — has been supported by the Arts Council, Creative Ireland and Kildare County Council.With roots in Brazil and Poland and a home in Ireland, music in our family crosses borders daily — and we love sharing that with yours.

Music Lessons
Music Lessons at HomeOne-to-one lessons, tailor-made for every student — in the comfort of your own home.We visit students across Gorey, Riverchapel, Courtown and the surrounding areas, so there's no traffic, no waiting rooms, and no dragging tired kids (or tired parents) across town. Just a weekly visit from a professional musician who loves teaching.Every lesson is shaped around the person in front of us. Some students want to play their favourite songs. Some want to write their own. Some want graded exams — we prepare students for Rockschool, LCM and Trinity Rock & Pop. All of it counts. All of it is music.What we teachGuitar — acoustic, electric, classical starter; our main instrument
Ukulele — brilliant first instrument for smaller hands
Piano — beginners
Drums — beginners

We keep places limited so every student gets real attention — including a short note after lessons so you always know what to practise and how it's going.Who it's forAges 6 to adult. Complete beginners are our favourite people — and no, it's never too late for you either. Some of our proudest students started after 40.

Baby Music
Weekly term-based music classes for babies and their grown-ups — starting soon in Gorey.Soundberry Baby Music is a gentle introduction to music for babies from birth to 18 months, accompanied by a parent, grandparent or guardian. Classes are built around singing, rhythm and simple percussion, with live guitar throughout — songs from Ireland, Brazil and further afield.Early musical experience is well linked with speech and language development, listening, coordination and — not least — the bond between baby and parent. But the honest reason families come back each week is simpler: it's a lovely hour, and babies thrive on it.Classes are kept small and unhurried. Babies join in however suits them on the day — some bounce, some watch, some sleep through the whole thing. All perfectly good responses to music.The practical bitsBabies 0–18 months, with a parent, grandparent or guardian
