Momentum is LEGIT and WORTH IT Marc Jovani is an experienced composer eager and passionate about lifting up others through his educational content. I have grown leaps and bounds as a media composer since beginning the Momentum program, and have even gotten the chance to mingle with real-world Hollywood composers. Through the program I met lifetime friends and colleagues. There are ways in which it is better than a typical Masters of Music Composition, for a lot less money. I couldn't recommend this program enough for composers who want to take their career to the next level.

Inspiration. I joined the very first momentum group. It was during a creative lull. The teachers and other students proved to be the inspiration I needed to get back on track. I also learned several skills to make the writing process more streamlined, and the final product better sounding. I would highly recommend momentum to anyone who wants to be a film composer.

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 - 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

Momentum Program The Momentum program has been highly rewarding. The instructors were inspiring, constructive, and always there to help. The access to the library of course and masterclasses is a fantastic supplemental resource along side the program. The Masterclasses and 1 on 1 challenges were some of the most inspiring I've taken part in. One of the best parts of the course was being able to connect with your classmates and build new and lasting friendships, some of whom I've now started a media production company with. Marc and company have provided an immersive and creative space to help kick start your compositional journey.
