Dr. Paul Melidona has been in music ministry from New England to the Pacific Northwest, from Quebec to Texas over the years. He has ministered in different countries in Europe with his wife, Franca. He earned his doctorate from the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies, Jacksonville, FL. Paul enjoys singing in civic organizations and has also played principal clarinet in a couple locations. Aside from the Lord and Paul’s wonderful family, music is his life. He sang tenor with the Lubbock Chorale, the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus, and the Chicago Symphony Chorus.

Interest: Teaching music to young and old alike - keyboard, voice and woodwinds, or in the classroom. I love playing piano and woodwinds. I really love baking and I am the assistant cook – my wife Franca is awesome!

Favorite Music: I really enjoy piano concertos and clarinet concertos; anything Mozart, R. Strauss, Beethoven, Copland, Sousa, Bernstein and others. I love smooth jazz and R & B, worship tunes (with interesting chord progressions) and Gospel choir/ensemble music.
