Simply call the toll-free number during the time your favorite Instructor is scheduled to accept calls and enter your MasterClass member access code. Calls are taken on a first-come basis, so be ready. See the Direct Line schedule for start-times and details.

You’re free to ask the Instructors anything you want to know about their skill sets and careers. Before you’re connected to an Instructor, an operator will preview your question to ensure that it is on-topic and appropriate.

While only MasterClass members will be given the opportunity to speak live and direct with the Instructors, non-members are encouraged to call in and leave a voicemail message with a question for the Instructors. Keep an eye on the MasterClass social channels where Instructors will be answering questions.

Simply call the toll-free number during the time your favorite Instructor is scheduled to accept calls and enter your MasterClass member access code. Calls will be taken on a first-come basis, and all callers who get through the queue will be screened through a moderator before speaking with Instructors. See the Direct Line schedule for more details.

If you are a MasterClass member, log in to your account. On your home page, scroll down until you see a tile with today's instructor along with the Direct Line phone number - your access code is right there! You can also find it in your email from MasterClass titled "Give the world's best a call", sent on September 14th.

If your call gets dropped, simply call the toll-free number again and you’ll get placed in the queue. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee you’ll be placed in the same spot in the queue.

Instructors will be answering questions on MasterClass social channels soon, keep an eye out!

While we won’t be able to indicate your place in the queue, our moderators will let you know if it’s looking like you’re in a good position to speak to an instructor.

Participants are limited to connecting with one MasterClass instructor for the duration of the Direct Line between September 15th and September 21st. Feel free to call as many times as you’d like if you haven’t spoken to an Instructor yet.

If you have general questions, please visit our Help Center where you can explore FAQ’s or submit a request to our Member Support Team.
