Experienced tutor in Piano in Cypress, Peter offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I was looking for a piano teacher that was knowledgeable with Jazz and had classical piano technique. I'm an older pianist with "Holes" in my piano education. Upon research, I saw that Peter published books for Hal Leonard and also taught at the prestigious Musician's Institute in Los Angeles. Peter's vast experience and knowledge in both Classical and Jazz worlds was exactly what I was looking for. His technique is impeccable and he can address whatever issues you have; harmonically, stylistically and what have you. He earns high recommendations from me!

Peter is an excellent communicator and demonstrator of musical concepts and practical application of all genres of piano music...classical, jazz, blues, rock and pop . He is very patient and encouraging as an instructor and I have benefited greatly as his pupil.

Peter is so well rounded. He is highly skilled in popular, classical, and jazz styles. And he is a Great Teacher!

Peter is patient, and pushes you to do more than you thought possible. He is very creative, fun to work with, and tailors learning to the students needs. One of the best music teachers I have had!

He really understood my learning style and taught in a way that would cater best to it. I always felt that my creativity was welcomed during the lessons which made it a good environment to grow as a musician.

Incredibly professional and talented instructor

Mr. DeNeff is always well prepared, punctual, and he is very experienced.

Relaxed, professional, knowledgeable, bite size steps, yet also challenging. Enjoyed hearing him play "how it should be done"

Peter Deneff is a great teacher, great musician, and all around great person. He has a very diverse background and can help you learn almost any style of music you might be interested in. I highly recommend him for students of all skill levels.

Peter is extremely passionate about his work and it shows inside his lessons. He is a true master if the piano who goes to great lengths to instill his skills and passions into every student who comes his way. Nice, personable, and accommodating to players of all skill levels.

Mr. Deneff is one of the best piano/music theory/digital music/private lesson instructors under which I have studied. Mr. Deneff possesses the type of personality that builds strong relationships with students and the professional experience (as a musician and composer) that provides students with many incites into all things music. He is an exceptional piano musician and has mastered other instruments as well. He not only is a strong performer, but he is an outstanding instructor. Because of his broad musical experience and years of giving private lessons, Mr. Deneff understands that students all students do not learn the same, and he has the patience and ability to describe or demonstrate musical concepts in several ways to help facilitate the learning of all types of students. If students put in the effort to study and practice, under Mr. Deneff’s direction, they can do nothing but improve or excel. I would definitely recommend any course that Mr. Deneff is teaching or taking private lessons from him. He truly loves teaching students.

Through his lesson I learned many things.! He is the great teacher and mentor! I could develop my jazz piano skills through the lesson!
It was great opportunity to learn from him!
