GBMomentum 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.

GBInspiration. 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.

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

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!

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.
