Clara began studying the piano at the age of three at the Mozarteum School in Caracas in the class of Carlos Urbaneja. At the age of ten, she was accepted at the CRR of Paris. She later obtained her DEM diploma in 2019 from the Regional Conservatory of Paris in the class of David Saudubray. During her years of study, she won the National Piano Competition of Chatou for two consecutive years.

In the past three years, Clara has performed several solo piano recitals and chamber music concerts in France and the United States. In 2020, she received a scholarship to study in the class of the prestigious Ukrainian pianist Volodymyr Vynnytsky at the College of Charleston. In her sophomore and junior year, Clara Camacho was awarded the Edwin Davis Peacock Award for excellence in piano and performed multiple concerts for the Piccolo Spoleto Festival. In April 2023, she performed in the Schumann Piano Concerto with conductor Yuriy Bekker and the College of Charleston Orchestra.
