They are a Thousand courses out there, none of them are so inspiring,helpful, and enjoyable as cinematic composing! It’s worth every penny!Thank you for being a part of this big family🙂
“These courses have been a fantastic experience thus far. I'm already learning more than I ever could. It's far superior than just searching for online tuts. This course is all a hit!.”
Whether it’s a film, TV show, video game or music production, the information you will learn in this class is very valuable and will be useful for the rest of your career.
Transform your life in 5 days. Become a composer. Starting from 0 knowledge.
Spend about 1 hour per day. Be a composer by the end of the week.
HERE'S THE PLAN:
I’ll hold your hand as you compose your first song and I’ll take you step by step. One day at a time. One challenge at a time.
And we’ll do this in a practical way. We’ll keep it simple and we won’t overthink it. I’ll put it simple for you. You just need to watch a 30 minutes lesson and put about 30 minutes of effort each day.
DAY 1- You’ll write your first mini-piece of music. Just using chords. You’ll learn how to use harmony effectively.
If you don’t have a studio yet, you’ll learn how to set up a basic studio to start composing and download the first sounds to get started.
The whole thing will take less than 1 hour!
Day 2- You’ll write your first (or next) piano sketch. I’ll show you the “right” way of doing this so you can orchestrate it with instruments tomorrow.
This will take less than 30 minutes.
Day 3- You’ll orchestrate yesterday’s sketch with instruments (strings, percussion, etc). You’ve composed your first mini-song! Your first piece of music!
This is easier than you think and it will take less than 30min!
Day 4- You’re improve your composing system so you can compose faster the next time. You’ll download some free libraries (I'll tell you exactly which ones) and you’ll build a basic template that will supercharge your composing workflow.
Day 5- Compose your next piece of music. This time it will be even faster than the last time
You have a system. You have the knowledge. You’re a composer!!
Whether it’s a film, TV show, video game or music production, the information you will learn in this class is very valuable and will be useful for the rest of your career.

"If you’ve been looking for real world, workable answers and solutions on how to set up and structure an effective film composition recording and production environment this is the course for you. Film composer Marc Jovani cuts to the chase on setting up workable templating, the pros and cons of many popular sound libraries, best practices for mixing and mastering along with tips on how to handle the variety and complexity of requests you will encounter this business. Marc’s passion for film scoring is only surpassed by his desire to educate both aspiring and established composers to be the best and most competitive music professionals they can be."
I'm enrolled in the Cinematic Composing course and I'm actually learning a lot. I didn't know Daw, so I emailed and was immediately advised. I know that this walk I'm taking in my studies, is very important, since we are in the digital age. I am a professional musician and knew very little about this subject. Thank you for enjoying this course
I have been studying orchestration for years. Everything is comprehensive and the instructors respond quickly when asked questions. I will be signing up for more courses in the future!
