MAS Professional Workshops


Stage performance scenes of hit songwriter JP Williams.Songwriting Workshop with #1 Hit Writer JP Williams

We’re pleased to bring #1 hit songwriter JP Williams to you in a virtual songwriting workshop on Sunday, June 13, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM CDT.

JP co-wrote the 3-week running #1 hit song, Best Shot, which rocketed super artist Jimmie Allen's career to the top of Country music. He also earned another #1 hit in Gospel with Christian artist Brian Free and Assurance called Never  Walk Alone.

JP has put together an exclusive workshop for MAS and guests.

He'll touch on things like:

  • The psychology behind successful co-writing.
  • How to get the most emotion in your lyrics from your co-writing session.
  • What to do with the most feared element of co-writing… silence. And it's likely not what you might think.
  • How you and your co-writer can look at points of view for the most powerful lyric.
  • You'll find out how to rid writer's block from your sessions.
  • And more…

Sign up early for your chance at a number of FREE one-on-one sessions with JP.

Steve Seskin Workshop

“This is a once in a lifetime chance for many songwriters, and not just our members either. And at the online workshop rate we are able to set, it’s a no-brainer. I’m crossing fingers we’ll have enough spaces in our online room” – Brad Dunsé, MAS President

Award-Winning, Songwriting Hall of Fame Nominee Spends the Entire Day Online with You Sharing as Much Songwriting Knowledge as He Can Get In

We’re so excited to bring legendary Steve Seskin online and into your home for a one-time only, all-day songwriting workshop on Saturday, January 16, 2021. We'll start at 9:00 AM CDT, and continue with breaks and lunch until 5:00 PM CDT.)

And we’ve worked out such a low rate, even if you couldn’t stay all day, it’s a steal of a deal!

Workshop fees with Steve have been known to start in the hundreds of dollars.

He’s that good.

Look online, even a one-on-one is $125.

You’re getting Steve for an entire day for as little as…

  • $50 for MAS members.
  • $85 for non-MAS members.
  • $75 to become a 1-year MAS member and attend workshop

"As much as I love living in Utah, the offerings for songwriters here are nearly non-existent. So I just want everyone to recognize and use the opportunities that MAS leaders have developed for you! It is seriously amazing – just think how hard it would be to get the workshop opportunities and performance opportunities without all their work!"
– Trish Painter
