“Beautifully planned lessons on how to write children's picture books, very informative and encouraging. I am incredibly grateful for Mrs Julia Donaldson course which she created with such a gentle humour and warmth. It helped me find my way back to my heart, and therefore my home. Thank you wholeheartedly 💓”
“Leuke cursus (Harlan Cobben) erg informatief. Ik ga een aantal tips en tricks zeker gebruiken met het schrijven van mijn eigen boek. Altijd leuk om van een ander te horen hoe ze hun werk doen.”
“Very impressed with the quality of the johnathon Yeo portrait painting sessions - he goes above and beyond to explain every aspect of the area. IVe watched several times and picked up more info each time -he really did a wonderful job at generously sharing
His vast experience - would recommend to anyone 10/10”
“A first-class program! Lessons are well structured and presented with high quality video. Supporting notes and exercises are very helpful, as are the articles available for each topic. This is a wonderful way to learn, and I am enjoying my membership immensely!”
“What stands out is the inspiring mix of subjects and the genuinely compelling instructors. They share their own experiences, methods, and mistakes in a way that feels personal, sparks curiosity, and creates a real sense of connection.
It’s also very thoughtfully structured — highly pedagogical without feeling heavy — breaking down complex ideas into small, manageable lessons that make learning feel simple and motivating.
It’s beautifully produced, personal, and truly inspiring.”
“It seems odd that I've had an email saying "f you wanted to tell a friend to use BBC Maestro to help them like it helped you, what would you say? ... By sharing your positive experience, you might help someone else take the leap into making their dreams a reality!" But if you don't invite bad reviews, how are we giving a properly informed picture? So far I've done 2 courses, one of them (Breadmaking) excellent, but the other (Improving your sleep) was not a proper course in any sense. So the jury is out on the project overall.”
“Well worth the money. I have only recently begun to use the site. I've tuned in to Julia Donaldson, and her contribution relating to writing picture books is invaluable.”
“Though BBC MAESTRO IS A Talented artist, I found that he talked too much with a thick English accdent which when he was tired was very hard to understand. He could have made this film in less time, which was more beneficial.”
