Bootcamp for Beginners Overall I was very happy with the Momentum program. The only reason for my rating of 4 stars vs 5 is because as a beginner, I felt overwhelmed. I was still learning my DAW when I began and the technical hurdles were incredibly challenging. I was using Logic and most of the classes / videos were taught on Cubase. There was so much information to be taken in and a very intense time schedule to complete the assignments that I felt I was barely keeping my head above water. I often thought I would have gotten more out of the program had I had more experience under my belt. All that being said, I persisted with the program, managed to keep up and in the end emerged with a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge and confidence in my ability that quite possibly would have taken me years to achieve.

Momentum 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.

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

Momentum 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.

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