Additionally, he has attended numerous master classes in composition, jazz piano, and film music both regionally and internationally. For the KotorArt festival, he has been commissioned multiple times to compose works for string orchestra or wind quintet. With his own projects and bands, Ivan Marović has recorded several albums of jazz music and other genres. In addition to original compositions, which include Everlasting Spark for string orchestra and narrator, Kotor 1979 for string orchestra, Carnival in the Fog for wind quintet, and others, he also writes music for theater and film.
