POINT OF VIEW

In 1996, Al Benner began writing a “Point of View” column for the bulletin of the
National Association of Composers, USA (NACUSA).  Beginning in 1997, this column started appearing in the Wisconisin Alliance for Composers (WAC) newsletter.  Selected columns have been picked up by various other composers’ bulletins and newsletter since that time throughout the United States.
These columns appear below.  If you are interested in using one of them for your publication--or if you would just like to make a comment, please contact Dr. Benner at <abenner@lsmsa.edu>.
