In 2007 she won the Society of American Musicians Classical Guitar Competition Senior Division in Chicago, IL; Rantucci International Classical Guitar Competition Youth Division in Buffalo, NY; and the East Carolina University Classical Guitar Competition Youth Division in Greenville, NC. Chaconne studies privately with Denis Azabagic in Chicago and is homeschooled. She has had masterclasses with Eliot Fisk, Adam Holzman, Lorenzo Micheli, Andrew Zohn, Richard Todd and Ada Vidovic.

Her playing style is both passionate and fiery! Enjoy!
