    I see ads for these masterclass things, is the schtik that it's someone of some notability wearing something nice and talking?

      The idea is that it's a famous expert in the field sharing their knowledge which doesn't exactly apply here. I've heard most all of them are overpriced at best, but it's possible that there's one or two hidden gems. If you pick up some books and some YouTube, you'll get ahead of whatever a "masterclass" would offer.

      they just try to find the biggest name they can afford and have them teach a pretty mediocre skills course. Most of the money goes to slick production value and the celebrities.
