I was very disappointed in the Portrait painting course. The supporting text lists 27 lessons and 21 exercises which I believed would be of a practical nature. However, as I started the course the artist, whom I really admire, did nothing but sit and talk-for all 27 lessons! Some of the exercises were ridiculous. This was of no use to me whatever as I wanted demonstrations and practical tuition on how to paint portraits. BBC would not consider refunding me.

Richard Bertinet is great. Easy to understand and very personable. Cant wait to take classes at his school in Bath.

I'm not that enthusiastic. Maybe I'm not far enough, but I think this is a waste of my money so far. It's quite unprofessionally recorded, looking into the wrong camera or into a book. Too bad, I expected more.

I have enjoyed the courses I’ve taken so far . They are gripping, well carried out and not boring at all. Eric Vetro helped me a great deal as a singer and composer with his great experience . “How to influence people” by Evy Poumpouras was more than fantastic . I go back every now and then to watch some chapters I need to reinforce and internalize from those courses. I’m looking forward to listening to other courses I’m interested in . Thank you BBC MAESTRO

Newlt told about BBC Maestro by a friend and this 79 year old 'lifelong learner' is thrilled to see such a variety of new things to be inquisitive about. First course begun' Time Management'--what a challenge as I'm in my 4000th week (The Lecturer's fascinating book of Life through TM) I will certainly continue to 'talk-up' this great learning platform to those , who like me until recently, haven't hear of it.

The Alam Moore BBC Maestro class feels like you're sitting in the room with him while he passes along all his years or experience to you! Very pleased to have purchased this class, and will next look for others to help further inprove my skills!!!

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
