“I found the BBC Maestro courses that I have taken so far to be incredibly interesting and enriching. Very well put together and am always looking forward to the next one I select.”
“I adored The Gruffalo so when I saw that Julia Donaldson had a course on picture books I signed up asap! Did not disappoint! Excellent course, well done, full of tips and I’m such a big fan it was simply a treat to see and hear her talk about picture books. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity!”
“Alan Moore is, as usual… brilliant. I am not a beginning writer, but I still picked up insights and information that I will use moving forward. Plus he mentions a few books that I haven’t read that are now on my list. It’s a win win!”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the courses on BBC Maestro, lots of choice depending on what mood you're in , great to listen to when you are pottering about the house or out and about.”
“I love it, I'm a creative director in communication in Milan, my site is www.stfrancis.it, I used to worked as well for many international clients as Lacoste and many others and I really love how the courses are structured. They are helping me to find motivation and focus on my work and to understand the core of writnings stories. Even the cooking courses are very elegant and amazingly made.”
“It's a resource full of invaluable advice on how to speed up the transition from amateur to elite. Probably the two best writing masterclasses I've so far watched on Maestro are Alan Moore's and Lee Child's; Moore is a literary genius, so his class teaches you about the art of writing; and Child, of course, is a mega-bestseller, so his course teaches you how to make your writing entertaining as well as strong. Maestro is a must for anyone who's looking to reach high heights.”
“BBC Maestro is a well-designed site with fantastic content. I’m currently completing Julia Donaldson’s ‘Writing Picture Books for Children’ and absolutely loving it. The lessons are clearly presented, perfectly chunked/segmented and excellent value for money. I’ve just renewed my subscription - even if I only complete one course this year, it will be worth it! (That said, I have my eye on many others already!)”
“It's a brilliant app - like the British version of Masterclass. I've followed the Alan Moore and Billy Connolly courses, and I think that they were both brilliantly well thought out. I've bought the latter as a gift for my younger brother.”
“As a writer, an artist, and a person who loves cooking, BBC Maestro is a fantastic site to guide and help me in my endeavors. I will be here year after year, you are the best!”
“High quality production, both videos & course contents. A good selection of "Maestros" - some of them go into really interesting details along the few hours the course longs. So much so that it is a joy to watch the course video more than once.”
“Vast amount of courses in bitesize chunks and pdf documents that can be read later, this package is excellent value, huge learning potential from a diverse array of genuine leaders of their field. Highly recommended.”
“I love to learn from the masters of writing. It is as if I'm sitting in front of them. Julia Donaldson is a great inspiration for my children's books. Being a children's book author myself I've learned a lot from her. I also enjoy Lee Child. I've always been a big fan of him and it is wonderful to be lectured by him. Thank you, BBC for bringing the Masters to us.”
