It met and exceed all expectations I had I am so glad to share my experience about the Momentum program. I really think that my music improved a lot thanks to it, I met a lot of great composers that I still keep contact, I had some job opportunities, and most important, thanks to the work I did in Momentum, I got accepted into the Screen Scoring Master degree program at USC that I am currently attending. I am really glad about the decision to take this course. Hello, My name is Felipe, I am a chilean composer and I was part of the 3rd cohort that finished around Dec 22. I would like to share you my experience with Momentum to help you in your decision. Before Momentum I was preparing my application for studying a Screen Scoring Master degree (2024) at the University of Southern California, but even though I did an 8 year Bachelors degree in composition, It was very slow and hard to prepare the mockups. I’ve been following Cinematic Composing since a lot time, and almost all the orchestral programing that I have learned has been from Marc. So I really saw a great opportunity by learning on a high level program with Marc. I thought it was going to improve my application. So I took the call the Marc and he promised me that after the course I will “composed faster” “make music that sounds good” “learn how to score to picture” “end up with a good portfolio” and “help with my application”. And Momentum program met and exceeded all expectations I had. I got accepted into USC thanks to almost 80% of everything I did in Momentum. But most important, DURING this program the tools that Momentum gave me were essential to maintain myself in the program and follow the phase. I was thankful for Momentum before USC and during USC. Also, thanks to the reel that I made in this course, a lot of directors from USC contacted me for scoring their short-films. I really recommend Momentum and it doesn’t matter the level where you are right now. In my cohort there were very experienced composers, and others that have started in music since a couple of years, and we saw a big improvement in everyones music. But you have to be aware that this is a serious program. The progress that you will earn is completely up to you. If you want to do just what the assignments require is fine, but (and this is what I did) since you have all the Cinematic Composing library, you can really take your time and go deeply in the resources available for delivering a better music. You will have to invest time in this training to really grow the most out of it. I think the hardest part of the decision is the cost of the program. It is expensive, there is no doubt about it. I only can say that I am really satisfied with my decision. It was an investing on my future because music is the only plan that I have for a living, I don’t have other option. I am really happy with the outcome, after Momentum I really felt I was prepared for working in film scoring and had tools for looking for potential jobs. I hope my experience will help you to take the best decision. At the end, it really has to be with what is on your heart and your possibilities. If you are really willing to learn a high level workflow and if you are willing to invest for it. No program in the world, not even USC, can guarantee you a job or stability, but if you are around the right people and you have the possibility to learn from the right people, chances are that something great can happen.

Momentum Momentum is an exceptional program that I highly recommend. As a film composer with hands-on experience, I've participated in Momentum by teaching a series of Masterclasses. Additionally, in 2022 I had the privilege of overseeing some recording sessions at the Bridge Studios in Los Angeles. One aspect that stands out about Momentum is its effort to include students from various backgrounds across the globe, making Momentum a standout choice for those passionate about writing and producing music for media.

Wow...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.

This course is absolute wonderful This course is absolute wonderful. I was one of the founding course members that started in february 2022. It has been a great experience. I learned so much in the six months that I followed this course, to get reviews from well-known composers like Javier Navarette, Christopher Young and Matthew Fisher is so valuable. The expertice of Marc Jovani is outstanding, besides that he is a really kind person and very patient. The lessons and streams with Marc were refreshing and clear. In particular the technical support was really helpful. The way he explaines is so good, it has been an honour to be a part of this and it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. I really recomend this course.

Momentum Gave Me Hope Prior to joining Momentum, I'd gone to traditional conservatory and while it was a great experience to have, it was very much rooted in a different culture when it came to the music I wanted to create as a composer and the music they were trying to push me in the direction of. The Momentum program, and Cinematic Composing as a whole, allowed me to score music to film in a way that spoke to me and not to how the instructors wanted my finished product to sound. My creative voice was respected and Momentum allowed me to challenge myself by pushing my creative boundaries without losing my creative voice in the process. Before Momentum, I felt like I wouldn't be able to write music others would/could appreciate due to my experience in conservatory, but Momentum helped me prove to myself that my creative voice is valuable and gave me hope for my creative career.
