GBWow...Momentum is an Amazing Experience Marc Jovani's Momentum program is the best!!!! Marc and the other program mentors provided a unique, nurturing, educational experience that truly elevated my confidence as a composer. Each week allowed all of us to explore our own creativity within the assignments; cookie cutter Momentum is not! The live feedback and weekly Q&A sessions provided a space where everyone in my cohort to, not only learn from Marc and the other mentors, but from each other. Our group of students came from such diverse backgrounds, but with the same objective...to be a better Cinematic Composer. It was so special to see a few that might not have had as much experience compositing in the style, let along have much DAW or Sample Library experience, grow and flourish and expand upon their innate gifts and talents. Walking with others and watching them grow as composers was one of the best parts of the program. Nothing was a "stupid question," nothing was "off limits." We got to be ourselves to learn, grow and achieve as composers. I wouldn't be the Compser I am now without going through Marc's Momentum program. In addition, Marc and the other mentors and students have become friends. Marc is true to his word of being there for all of us. Even though I went through Momentum over a year ago, Marc is still responsive and supportive as a mentor and friends. If you have any doubts, you are most likely doubting yourself and your ability. Those doubts are the reason you should sign up for Momentum as it will remove them all and bring you confidence.

BRMomentum - Unforgettable, professionalism Momentum was a turning point in my life and in my profession as a composer. From the time I enrolled and the call with Marc Jovani (Aug2022) to the very "end" (Jun2023) of the program, it has been a fantastic journey of knowledge, professionalism, and vision of possible ways to work with music. Every week challenge was reviewed like surgery, nothing was missed. Every aspect was covered, mixing, instruments, arrangement, length, and mastering. Also every week we had live classes talking about something specific. Could be about effects, plugins, VSTs, or libraries for you who's starting and for you who have plenty. Following all these fantastic classes, we got many masterclasses with directors, big composers, and professionals who have a big package of time working in this field. But it's not just the ones you see who do an amazing job. The whole staff of Momentum is ready to aid you with any needs. If you are struggling with something, they will help you until it is solved. They listen to every suggestion you make. You going to feel like you are at home, with people worrying about you and cheering for you. That's how I felt at least with Momentum. Worth every moment, every class, and everyone involved. Happy to be part of it. <3

GBExactly What I Expected and More! I was a member of the initial group of Momentum "The Guinea Pigs". The program was intense but a fantastic experience. The instructors and support team were terrific and the other members of the group were supportive and inspiring. I cannot recommend the Momentum program strongly enough, and would do it all over again!

GBAn unforgettable and transformative experience As a participant in the first cohort of the Momentum program, I can confidently say that it was a transformative experience that exceeded all my expectations. Momentum is an intensive program designed to elevate your skills in music composition. It includes weekly assignments with detailed feedback, classes with knowledgeable coaches, and monthly masterclasses with established composers. Before joining Momentum, I was struggling with imposter syndrome and a fear of not creating "perfect" music. This program gave me the accountability and actionable feedback I needed to overcome these barriers and improve my music quality. The numerous "aha" moments were invaluable, from technical insights to mindset shifts, and this helped me finish compositions confidently and focus on the process, not just the outcome. Momentum kickstarted my career as a composer. I landed my first paid gig and made connections that led to signing tracks with music libraries. The networking aspect is one the big benefits of the program. I still talk regularly to many of the friends I made there. And this industry it's all about connections! Through these people I met more people and even though it's a journey that I'm still going through, this is what made it possible for me. The mentors and guest composers brought diverse perspectives and expertise. Their feedback on my music was not just about technical aspects but also about understanding the industry and how to handle feedback effectively. For anyone at a similar point in their music career, I totally recommend Momentum. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, the intensity and networking opportunities are incredibly beneficial. The program is challenging but provides all the support you need to grow and succeed. I rate Momentum 5 stars for being one of the best educational experiences I've had. It significantly surpassed my expectations in every aspect. A special bonus: because we were the first cohort, Marc, the program's founder, organized an extraordinary recording session in LA, where I met him and most of my classmates in person. It was my first time composing for and conducting a live orchestra. This experience, generously funded by Marc, was unforgettable. While this specific event was not strictly part of the program, it speaks a lot about Marc's dedication and generosity.
