As a child she received lessons in harpsichord, playing baroque music. At the age of 17 she went to Los Angeles[1] where she went to a high school attending music lessons on a daily basis, being part of an ensemble that toured the U.S. and Canada. She studied at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague,[1] Netherlands with Jeanne Lee[2] and Rachel Gould and earned a master's degree in performance and pedagogy. She became a student of Indian classical singer Prabha Atre in Mumbai. Abbuehl studied composition with Dutch composer Diderik Wagenaar.

In 2001, her album April was released by ECM[2] and won an Edison award (Dutch Grammy). She tours with her band and other jazz musicians in Europe, North America, and Africa, playing in Montreal, Maputo, Cape Town, Rome, Paris, Zurich, Oslo, and other European cities.
