Composer
Teacher
Co-founder of Cinematic Composing
For nearly ten years, Marc Jovani has been working at the highest level of film, providing music for many major studios such as Lionsgate, Syfy, FOX and most recently NETFLIX. He has also composed music for television shows and movies distributed on leading, nationally broadcasted television channels, including Lifetime (USA), TF1 (France), the Hallmark Channel (USA), Canale 5 (Italy), Antena 3 (Spain), HBO (USA) and more. Having received international recognition for numerous prestigious productions, Marc’s desire to work on quality projects is only surpassed by his desire to create the most engaging scores.
His scores have been recorded with some of the best orchestras and have been conducted by the composer himself in renowned studios such as the historic Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros studios in Burbank, The Eastwood Scoring Stage in Hollywood, The Bridge Recording in Glendale, and the Village Studios in Los Angeles, among others. In addition to conventional musical composition, Marc specializes in contemporary hybrid scores. In combining modern electronic elements with the now standard orchestral pallet, Marc creates a unique and identifiable sonic identity for every project.
As an entrepreneur, Marc Jovani is the co-founder and CEO of Cinematic Composing, a prestigious online film music school offering high-quality self-contained courses and an exclusive 6-month online film scoring program called Momentum.The core mission of Cinematic Composing is to transform lives by guiding those with a passion for music to embrace their calling, bringing joy and fulfillment through the power of orchestral composition and film scoring. So far, more than 20,000 composers have taken courses at Cinematic Composing.
Grammy Award-winning motion picture music producer
Walt Disney Pictures: Vice President of Music Production (for 11 years)
Launched the MA in Scoring for Film, TV and Video Games at the international campus of the Berklee College of Music
Developed the MFA in Music Composition for the Screen at Columbia College Chicago
Advisor and Lecturer for the MA in Film Scoring at Pulse College, Dublin
Author of the Book "Scoring The Screen: The Secret Language Of Film Music"
“Andy Hill has the ability to deconstruct and explain the process of writing film scores with extraordinary clarity, all the while imbuing the subject with a fervor that should, in my opinion, be reserved only for European football matches and Baptist revival meetings.”
You MUST get this – While most analytical books are written by academics, Andy was right there in the thick of things as a member of the Disney music department, while the majority of the scores in the book were actually being recorded. Not to mention, it is so alive with his mad passion for film music.
“Andy Hill is among the handful of penetrating minds and ears engaged in film music today.”
“Andy Hill’s ‘Scoring the Screen’ is, like its author, thoughtful, incisive and full of solidly interesting insights into the technique, craft and emotional magic of film scores and the composers who create them.”
“Andrew Hill displays the comprehensive knowledge, wisdom, and reverence required to provide informed and practical insight into the art and craft of composing screen music. His background as a practicing musician, Disney studio music-executive, and college-level educator enables him to intelligently—and sometimes amusingly—reveal the magic behind the film-composer’s curtain.”
“Andy presents his case that the finest composers to have worked in film over the last eighty years have contributed genuine masterpieces of music and drama to our culture. A film score must excel at both to be successful, and this is so beautifully illustrated in Hill’s elegant prose. Having produced new recordings of To Kill A Mockingbird — with Elmer Bernstein — and Patton — with Jerry Goldsmith — and examined these and other scores in great detail with the composers themselves, I found myself very moved by Hill’s like-minded analysis. Part of the film composer’s art is in fact to conceal the effort and the intellect that goes in to the creation of their scores. Hill thankfully lifts the veil. I am thrilled to see such a rare spotlight illuminating the artistry behind these masterworks.”

Having received international recognition for numerous prestigious productions, Marc’s ability to enhance the experience of the audience is what makes him unique. Jovani’s ability to elevate onscreen drama through his well defined musical voice is what makes his contribution so valuable.
His scores and orchestral mockups have been then recorded with some of the best orchestras and have been conducted by the composer himself in renowned studios such as the historic Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros studios in Burbank, The EastWest Scoring Stage in Hollywood, The Bridge Recording in Glendale, and the Village Studios in Los Angeles, among others. In addition to conventional musical composition, Marc specialises in contemporary hybrid scores. In combining modern electronic elements with the now standard orchestral pallet, Marc creates a unique and identifiable sonic identity for every project.
The quality of the above-mentioned productions is illustrated by the national and international accolades they have received, as well as their selection for exhibition at numerous widely attended and high-profile international film festivals.

“Either if you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, the Symphonic Virtual Orchestration course is a great place to build on that knowledge and continue learning about music production.”
Medhat Hanbali - 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.
Steve Schwartz - Composer
“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!.”
Alan Lorden - Creative Director at Rusted Gate Music in Raleigh, North Carolina.
"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. The modern composer has to fill many roles beyond just coming up with the music. You’re also expected to provide score mockups, be the arranger, music editor, sound designer and pretty much anything else that involves the music side of a movie or television show. 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 am only into day 2, I am so impressed! The chat/interactive video chat, the assignments, and the customer service is WAY more than I thought this experience was going to be."

“Andy Hill (...) gives unparalleled information on how it is created, integrated with film, and then… perceived in the context of the film once it is “out there”. For composers, orchestrators, musicians, filmmakers, historians and fans of film and film music, every “piece of the puzzle” is here…”
