This course is absolute wonderful This course is absolute wonderful. I was one of the founding course members that started in february 2022. It has been a great experience. I learned so much in the six months that I followed this course, to get reviews from well-known composers like Javier Navarette, Christopher Young and Matthew Fisher is so valuable. The expertice of Marc Jovani is outstanding, besides that he is a really kind person and very patient. The lessons and streams with Marc were refreshing and clear. In particular the technical support was really helpful. The way he explaines is so good, it has been an honour to be a part of this and it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. I really recomend this course.

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 - 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.

Very High Quality Composing Instruction Useful In the Real World I am a recent graduate of the Momentum program at CinematicComposing.com (I was in the session that ran from January 2023 - August 2023. In short, the program was outstanding. I was looking for instruction to help jumpstart my next career as a composer of music for movies, television, commercials, video games and other similar needs. The program provided ample instruction in all these areas that was actually usable in the real world. How can I say this? Well, a few days after the program ended, I landed my first gig as a composer of music for a movie made by an established producer that will likely be on cable tv in early 2024. Here is what made the program so great: (1) Quality Instructors - Every single instructor was a working composer or working industry professional (for example, we had a movie director teach us how to work with producers/directors more effectively) with real world credits with names we all recognize (e.g., Netflix, HBO, blockbuster movies). They taught us how to create music based on their success in the industry. I learned something useful from every one of the instructors. And yes, some of the instructors had scored blockbuster and major release movies from major studios. (2) Quality Instruction - Most weeks there was a composing assignment tied to the instruction we received during the week. We would have a deadline for turning in a composition. In the subsequent class the instructor would play every single students' submission and provide detailed feedback (even down to the level of exactly how to eq a specific track to improve the mix). We would then have to revise our composition based on the instructor's feedback and resubmit it for another round of feedback in front of the class. This was incredibly helpful in learning how to finish music that was competitive in the real world and it enabled each student to have a demo reel completed by the end of the semester. (3) Networking/Connections - We had a number of high profile composers guest teach and they followed the same format of providing two rounds of detailed feedback on every student's submission. It is rare that you can get detailed feedback and ask questions of composers who scored blockbuster movies, but this happened multiple times with different composers during the semester. And the fact that they actually cared about our music and wanted to help created an environment where real learning could take place. I have subsequently met in Los Angeles with one of these guest composers and developed a relationship that continues to provide me with information helpful to the development of my career. The network I have gained through the other students in the class is also invaluable as many of them are helping other classmates land projects. In fact, many of the students came into the program with significant experience in the music/film industries and without exception shared their knowledge with classmates both during and after the semester. This continues to this day. (4) Opportunities - We were provided with a number of opportunities to submit our work for actual paying projects and as previously mentioned, I landed a gig as one of the composers on a movie just days after the Momentum program ended. I also continue to learn of opportunities that I would not have visibility to were it not for CinematicComposing.com's Momentum program. In summary, I found this to be a very high quality program, that provided practical, useful, real-world composing instruction, taught by outstanding instructors who genuinely wanted to help. The program has provided access to useful professional networks and directly led to a number of professional opportunities. I give this program my highest recommendation to anyone who is looking to accelerate their learning of composing. And again, I am a graduate of the program. I paid the regular price for the program and am not being compensated in any way for this review.

Momentum 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.
