“Very versatile selection I just love being able to sit at home and learn so much. Two puppies at the moment being trained. Love Richard Bertinet bread
also Jancis Robinson on Wine. I can’t wait to enjoy more of the varied programmes.”
“BBC Maestro is a great way of accessing quality resources from successful well known people. I have bought the Lee Child writinh course and it is packed full of excellent advicd and tips. Very good value for money”
“A beautifullly designed course, grounded on an excellent learning model, which is motivating me to try out new ideas and believe jn myself as a portrait painter.”
“I love being able to explore new topics at my own pace. I've signed up for two courses so far and am enjoying both of them.
There seems to be quite a wide range of topics but I would prefer to be able to listen, rather than watch. I don't know if there's an audio-only possibility but this could be very useful.
A word of warning, from bitter experience: if you want to listen on the go, download the course first. I just used up my whole month's mobile data allowance listening to a course while walking my dog!”
“I only joined BBC Maestro a short while ago, but I do not have words enough to say how much the course I am following , the one on poetry with Carol Ann Duffy has added to my life. It is a whole new dimension, making me re-look at so much in my life. Please thank her for me. Is there an email I can use to send a letter of thanks to her? I am very elderly, so to start this course at my age is a real gift. Thank you for providing these courses.
With my thanks and best wishes,
Jill”

“I've only just started using the course.I love the bit size lessons....this suits my availability...I've only looked at 4 lessons so far with Julia Donaldson and I've learnt so much already...I use my phone and I can take it all over the house.”
“As a writer, I initially joined BBC Maestro to do the courses on offer by Isabele Allende and Jojo Moyes. But, I must say, there is so many courses available in every category, that it will keep me well entertained in more than just writing!
But, having just joined, I am already loving the writing course by Isabel Allende on Magical Storytelling. She is an incredible teacher and the pace and tone of her course is really helping me with my novel.
The content throughout is beautifully shot, the videos and sound are clean and crisp and the settings of each one make you feel like you are with them in their home. Highly Recommend!”

“Isabelle Allende's lessons were inspiring, informative, and real. Her style of communicating and encouraging was kind and relaxed. Her words were thoughtful and inspiring.”
“Am part way through Jancis Robinson’s wine course. It‘s so good, we have to stop ourselves from bingeing it. Each talk is short and to the point. Robinson is a superb communicator of her knowledge and strikes precisely the right tone – straighforward and not patronising. There is no waffle or filling and every word counts. We have already learned a lot and there’s still a way to go. Was delighting to see there are course notes too.”
“The range of courses which are available through BBC Maestro are extensive. The material is thought provoking and can be covered at your own pace. It is a stimulating way of learning new things.”
