Graner Music
Mel Graner was a school band director for nearly 30 years--it was in his blood and he very much enjoyed each class. When the school district let him go, he was not yet ready to retire or give up on teaching music. He opened Graner Music in Colorado Springs, and continued teaching both by providing lessons and by imparting knowledge to his customers. He was raised on a farm holding on to many of the values he gleaned from those early years, including the idea of helping your neighbors. As a strong leader in music education, Mel always did just that!
