Richard's ability to impart his knowledge and passion for bread makes this highly technical subject both easy to understand and entertaining .”
“Working my way through the Lee Child course. It is amazing. What an inspiring man he is. Lots of good advice from someone so successful. This is the best writing course I’ve done and it’s changing the way I think about writing. I’ve also started reading his novels. Really can’t get enough of the man. Buy this course if you are interested in writing you won’t regret it.”
“Courses taken in the BBC Maestro are excellent content with inspiring speakers, authors and creatives. I have really enjoyed Julia Donaldson's Picture Books for Children; Ken Follett and Lee Child's Best selling Fiction masterclasses. Next on my list is poetry and public speaking. Go on. Invest in quality lessons that challenge and stretch you. The learning and enjoyment is superb.”

I love Julia’s clear & creative lessons.
I also love that BBC Maestro allow plenty of time to do the course. I don’t feel pressured to complete it & that’s great.”

“BBC Maestro offers the best in my opinion. I love their site and use it to help and enhance my writing experience. I found them through Lee Child's course and have never regretted it. I encourage writers and potential authors to try out some of the courses. They are offered in a one-on-one experience as if you were in the room chatting with the presenter. It is that comfortable and informal.”
“I have bought most of the cooking Maestros and they are very helpful, and it's great to have as a resource that is like your own private cooking tutorial to refer back to. Maestro is a great idea from the BBC.”
“I've been making bread, on and off for more than 30 years. I've been making the same bread, the same way for most of that time. I've learned so much in the few short weeks since I've subscribed and my bread repertoire is expanding rapidly. I appreciate the explanations of how and why, as well as the demonstrations and different techniques. It's been a joy so far and absolutely worth paying for access to such a quality program.”
“It's a lovely learning experience to pop in, when you have the attention and interest in a particular subject. I spend ten minutes or several hours, before or after work, to feed my mind. Carol Ann Duffy's course has immensely helped me write better poetry and her direction, her delivery, her personality uplifts me. It's unexpectedly delightful to tune in, for many reasons, and I am ready to feed my brain with more Maestros.”
