Classical Guitar Orlando and Daytona Beach
Behind the strings

Hi! I'm Clara, a classically trained guitarist in Daytona Beach. 

When I'm not performing, you'll find me teaching passionate students, refining my repertoire, and enjoying music-filled moments. 

My goal is to bring the beauty and depth of classical guitar to every stage and setting. With nearly two decades of dedication to my craft, I offer music rooted in technical precision, expressive interpretation, and heartfelt artistry.
