But whatever goal you have for yourself, pursuing it requires dedication and a network of people who can help you in your path. Welcome, then, to Volume One’s ïŹrst guide to growing and networking a musical group in the Chippewa Valley. We’re not going to tell you where to buy a Fender

Stratocaster in the area, teach you music theory, or how to get your singer to come to practice on time. However, we will shed light on things like where to get your own practice space around here, where to ïŹnd recording studios are in the area, and which local businesses will put your CD on their shelves. We’ve also got a lot of contacts to help you get on the air, in publications, and stuff like that. So, make use of the following pages and help shape our music scene. We’re looking forward to what you have in store for us. – Tyler Griggs
