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.

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.

Great Experience. Great people, amazing experience. Awesome instruction Top quality instructors and mentors. Absolutely worth it at so many levels.

Momentum - a Total Emersion Experience The Momentum program from Cinematic Composing is a well-organized deep dive into all the facets of composing music for the entertainment industry and beyond. It is a program like few others, designed for the individual who is serious about learning how to compose music for cinema, television, video games and other formats where music plays an important role. Every detail of the art is covered in depth during the 7 to 8 month course, the most valuable feature of which is frequent one-on-one detailed feedback from accomplished individuals who have made their mark in the industry. The latter would be nearly impossible to receive under normal circumstances, but it is offered in Momentum in an organized, constructive format that is quite enjoyable. Momentum is not a course to be taken in one's spare time. Most participants remained completely immersed in the lessons, homework and evaluations for many hours each day, often spending additional hours in the late evening to complete a composition assignment. The curriculum extends well beyond the essentials of cinematic composing to more advanced concepts and includes very practical aspects such as the use of hardware and software, interacting with directors and producers and how to make yourself known to those who might hire you for a project. The methodology includes videos, frequent live chats with all members of the class (limited to about 20 individuals) and evaluation sessions. Near the end of the course, the class assembled in Los Angeles for a weekend of study, live recording of individual compositions and general comradery. The course of study compares to a graduate level college offering and is well worth the expense. I was a member of the very first Momentum group and I am happy to learn that some of the content and procedures have been altered to make the experience even better. Pre-existing knowledge of music theory varied considerably among my classmates but there was ample opportunity and resources to supplement skills, where lacking. For example, some facility with the piano is necessary, and although my abilities were markedly limited (I am a woodwind player), I was able to acquire enough skill to be very comfortable and productive. Although the course was designed to serve the younger individual who wishes to begin a career in cinematic composing, I accepted the challenge in my mid-70's solely for the pleasure of learning a new subject. However, I now find myself writing music for my own enjoyment and variety of small projects.

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.
