The Gospel Music Association is proud to introduce a brand new way to experience IMMERSE

The MasterClass Sessions

The IMMERSE Songwriter MasterClass is to designed to give you exclusive access and hands-on experience with industry professionals that you can’t find anywhere else. From song feedback to co-writing with a pro, if you’re serious about growing as a songwriter, this experience is for you!

What sets MasterClass Sessions apart from the regular sessions?

FEEDBACK

MasterClass Students receive unprecedented access to our industry's top pros - bring your original songs to the MasterClass Session & receive one-on-one feedback as well as group reviews!

CO-WRITE WITH A PRO

Learn and grow as a co-writer. In small groups, we'll pair you with a professional writer to walk you through the co-writing process. While potentially a little uncomfortable, the experience is a real-life preview into what it's like to do this on a professional level.

EXCLUSIVE SESSIONS

You'll get access to MasterClass only sessions with high-level industry professionals. You won't want to miss these unique class settings.

ADDITIONAL PERKS

MasterClass Students will be considered first for our popular Open Mic Nights and will be eligible to be chosen to perform during our Wednesday Evening Showcase. After IMMERSE, a handful of MasterClass students will also be invited to the 51st Annual GMA Dove Awards where they will present at the Industry-Only Pre-Telecast and have their picture taken on the Red Carpet! Finally, we offer our MasterClass students 10 Free Conference Audio Sessions of their choosing so you can get a refresher from your favorite sessions over and over again!
