“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.”
“I am impressed by the quality of those giving the master classes, the variety of subjects covered, and the delivery of the classes. Overall really good value for money. In the future I will be buying individual courses to keep instead of annual general subscription”
“Always loved cooking for my family. Experimented a lot with closed fire and open fire cooking outside where managing temperatures is sometimes difficult. Learning from the best in the kitchens helps immensely with techniques and ideas for making food special in our lives. Enjoying the app. Mark”
“BBC Maestro are well-produced insights given by a wide variety of experts in their own field. Each course is divided into easily accessible videos supported by excellent background material”
“The BBC Maestro series excels in delivering intricate insights into a wide array of subjects. The instructors, who are experts in their respective fields, offer an in-depth exploration of topics that capture my interest. Through these courses, I have acquired valuable knowledge such as mastering the art of cooking chicken tikka and delving into the nuances of character development in storytelling. The series allows me to learn from individuals I hold in high regard, enriching my understanding of their respective crafts. I'm very happy with my investment.”
“I have used my laptop to follow a course through from start to finish - it was excellent - but I’ve also started dipping in and out of courses on the train or if I’ve got ten minutes to spare which feels so much better than scrolling through social media! The range of courses just keeps getting better.”
“I am disabled and have recently taken up photography. The Rankin course provides not only the rapid learning curve that I need but also showed me what a disabled person can achieve. Thank you for this and May I request more of the same?”
“The range of courses is excellent and wide. The experts are just that - they have been very successful in their chosen careers and are sharing elements of their work.”
“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.”
“A great selection of "maestros" help you with a great variety of subjects, whatever rocks your boat, they have it.
Videos and notes to check any time, but I miss some other kind of help, assistance, online community...”
“I was underwhelmed by BBC Maestro (I signed up because I was interested in the writing courses, and to like the writing courses you need to be a novice, which I am not). I enjoyed Jancis Robinson's wine course, but was not inspired by the cooking courses (another passion). However, my interest was reignited by Rankin's very good photography course. I like that he interviews other photographers (and inspired I've spent a small fortune on new books) and after years of shying away from portrait photography, I feel now sufficiently inspired to try.”
