Dennis has been teaching in the Hempfield area since 1987. During this time he has served as the Worship Arts Director at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Landisville. He has been blessed with having had contact with so many area parents and children as a music teacher and mentor. He recently retired from Zion after 31 years, and is currently the Music Director/organist at Donegal Springs Presbyterian Church in Mt Joy, PA..His philosophy of teaching music is simple: Have fun and enjoy the process and the end result of your practice and learning. He focuses on what moves you musically while at the same time trying to expand your boundaries into a music you may not know.
