GBSkills, community and an insider's view of media composing Let's face it, you can spend years learning how to compose, mix, record, use plug-ins... but you're still on the outside, looking in. With Momentum's expert instruction and opportunities to directly meet with industry insiders, you suddenly walk through the doors and begin learning to become a professional composer. Warning though; if you come into this with a fantasy view of what it is to be a media composer, you will come away either humbled or disappointed. We all want to be the next John Williams or Johann Johannsson, but the core of our craft is to become the best version of ourselves that we can become and find a way to make that work in the real world. In the few months since the class, I've signed on with an indy film (that may or may not ever get made, but living with that is also part of the training), have begun work on an orchestral piece and am continuing to build my skills, community and demo reel. This might have happened without Momentum, but I guarantee that it would have taken a whole lot longer!

GBMomentum 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.

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.

GBMomentum 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.

GBMomentum 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.
