During the pandemic, I attended an online workshop that had a few different pianists of all backgrounds attend. I was able to openly share my challenges with the tempo and some technical aspects of the Czerny exercise I’ve been working on, and the group gave me such amazing feedback and encouragement to help me become a better pianist and musician. Anton also asked me questions that made me reconsider my perspective of this exercise; it started off as just a hand exercise to help increase velocity and stamina, but then I realized that it was truly like a short, happy song with some distinct melodies and harmonies.

Anyway, you want to know more about Anton, right? Anton as a human being: KIND, CHILL, & FUNNY. He makes good jokes and there’s never an awkward moment. Anton as a piano teacher: PATIENT, ENTHUSIASTIC, & KNOWLEDGEABLE!!! He can deal with all kinds of people and teach all levels of piano. I highly recommend taking piano lessons from Anton Achondoa. ✨

“Anton is a fantastic piano teacher. I had Anton for a university piano course and I improved greatly while studying with him. He is kind, professional, and made lessons very enjoyable. He also continuously challenged me which I appreciated. His passion and extensive musical knowledge make him a highly skilled teacher!”

“I had Anton as a teacher for a university music course and I enjoyed our lessons very much! He is a kind and attentive teacher and I have no doubt in his ability to give any student a comfortable learning environment.”

“Mr. Achondoa was very patient yet diligent in his teaching. He found the delicate balance between encouraging me in my progress while also challenging me with new skills and opportunities. This has really benefitted my studies in piano and in music as a whole. I am very thankful that he was my instructor.

“ Anton is a highly skilled and incredibly patient teacher. During my time as his piano student, he continuously found ways to help me feel confident in my developing abilities, while also feeding me new material that was challenging enough that I would have room to grow and improve. I’m so grateful that he was my instructor while I learned the fundamentals of pianism!

“I had Anton for an introductory piano course and he was wonderful to work with. He always prioritised the students’ improvement and encouraged coming in for extra help if needed. He had you choose the piece rather than assigning it to you and was very thorough with scales and techniques. I wouldn’t be able to recommend him any more!”

“Anton was our son’s first music teacher and was highly influential to our son. Our son developed the discipline to practice piano every day and he always looked forward to his lessons with Anton. We knew that Anton had the skill set and personality to fit perfectly. Anton is a friend to anyone who meets him.”
