Melynda Rodriguez

I'm a pianist, organist and synthesist. I was introduced to the piano at age 9, then becames self taught, playing mostly by ear.At 18, my sister asked me to accompany the choir she was directing, First Modesto Apostolic Youth Choir. We performed at many local churches and at the Modesto Center Plaza. I became the full time church accompanist switching between piano and organ. I played latin style for the spanish congregation, gospel and contempory for the english congregation.After 3 years of being the church accompanist, I began pipe organ lessons at Modesto JC. The style was completely different than the Hammond c3 that I played at the church. Before graduating with my A.A. in Music, I was a pianist for the MJC Day Jazz Band and played percussion for the MJC Symphonic Band. I also studied voice, guitar, synthesis and recording studio. My favorite was David Dow's Electronic Music Ensemble class.I've played for the jazz band, Tradewinds under Ernie Bucio. I've played some latin keys for the band Hollopoynt and have worked on synthesis for the band Babel. I also play independently, original works and covers. I'm available for weddings, funerals, special events, studio musician and band gigs and coffee shops! I have my own equipment needed to provide professional services.
