An 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.

GROW AND BUILD GOOD EVENING, THX FOR THE REVIEW OPPORTUNITY. MARC J. AND MOMENTUM TEACHERS AND NEW STUDENTS. MY EXPERIENCE WITH MM WAS THE BEST INVESTMENT I MADE TOWARDS MY LOVE OF MUSIC, I LEARNED SO MUCH I TOOK THIS OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ORCHESTRATION AND ITS MUSICAL ELEMENTS, AND MASTERING...... IT WAS GREAT FOR ME AND I TOOK NONE OF IT PERSONAL, WE ALL HAVE FLAWS IN OUR CREATION OF MUSIC, BUT IF A STUDENT CAN'T TAKE criticism THEN THIS PROGRAM ISNT FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL, IN ORDER TO GROW AS A COMPOSER WE MUST LEARN TO TAKE SOME CRITICISM ON OUR MUSIC. THAT IS HOW WE GROW AND FIND OURSELVES. I HAD AN ISSUE WITH UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUDIO FILES AND STEM FILES, GETTING PAST THE FRUSTRATION ALLOWED ME NOT TO GIVE UP..... NOT HAPPENING.....LOL AND I PERSEVERED TO LEARN THE DIFFERENCE AND NOW ITS ALL GOOD, BIG THX TO DIRK EHLERT HE WAS TOUGH ON ME, BUT THAT TOUGH LOVE HELPED ME TO STEP IT UP,,,,,ESPECIALLY IF WE DONT GET THE JOB WE MUST ALWAYS AND ONLY BE PROFESSIONAL. WORD OF MOUTH GETS AROUND IN THIS BUSINESS......ALWAYS BE IN CONTROL OF UR EMOTIONS. MOMENTUM TAUGHT ME TO HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF, EVEN WHEN THINGS ARE NOT IN MY FAVOR, I MUST MAINTAIN MY EMOTIONS AND STAY CONFIDENT AND FOCUSED, THIS PROCESS WILL MAKE ANYONE BETTER AT THEIR CRAFT. AS A TEENAGE DRUMMER THE GROUP I CREATED WE WERE RIGHT AT THE SIGNING DOOR, BUT THOSE PPL I WAS DEALING WITH BACK IN "79" KICKED ME OUT OF MY OWN BAND UNFORTUNATELY, BUT THEN EVERYTHING WENT TO THE SH-- HOLE BECAUSE OF GREED AND SELFISHNESS. GOD DONT LIKE UGLY !!! THIS IS MY SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELF IN THIS BUSINESS OF MUSIC. FOR THOSE MUSIC LOVERS AND CREATORS MOMENTUM IS A GREAT A PROGRAM FOR THOSE INDIVIDUAL WHO WANT TO BETTER THERE CRAFT AND BE A PART OF THE TV/FILM INDUSTRY. GO FOR IT ! GREAT EXPERIENCE, GREAT TEACHERS WHO WANT U TO REALLY LEARN AND BE BETTER. THX AGAIN MARC J. AND MM. ALL THE BEST, Gregg E Birch

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.

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.

Momentum is one of the best decisions I… Momentum is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. If you want to become a professional from an amateur composer in less time, this is the best platform. Well rounded course that is no less to any conservatory studies. They cover all the areas a composer should be aware of about the industry. More than anything Momentum builds your confidence and make you ready for the industry.
