"I am very proud of what we have built up with a small team over the past years and how many people we have helped to pave the way to music."

Yacine Khorchi

Yacine Khorchi

Yacine Khorchi is the brain behind our piano course. With more than 15 years of experience as a professional pianist, piano teacher and pedagogue, he ensures lots of fun and maximum learning progress for our students. From selecting the pieces and preparing the sheet music to delivering explanations in the videos and answering piano specific questions in the support team, Yacine really does everything to pave the way for you to become a pianist.

Yacine studied piano for five years at the Hochschule für Musik in Würzburg and completed his studies with a diploma and additional concert diploma. In 2011, he founded the online music school music2me together with his school friend Andreas Kraus. He is also a sought-after live and studio musician.

Thomas Dill

The guitar course is developed and led by Thomas Dill. He draws on his many years of experience as a professional guitarist and guitar teacher, through which he knows exactly what is really important when learning and playing the guitar. From the first fingerings on the guitar, reading notes and tablatures to the pounding of powerful solos - Thomas will guide you through the world of the guitar. And if you get stuck, Thomaswill be happy to help you with your guitar problems in our support.

Thomas studied classical guitar at the University of Giessen and electric guitar at MGI Cologne. Since then he works as a guitar teacher, freelance musician, producer and also as an author at Bonedo.de.

Mirco Sontag

Our guitar teacher Mirco is your man when it comes to songs. Whether it's a legendary rock anthem or a ballad plucked on the acoustic guitar - Mirco will explain the songs to you piece by piece before you can play them with our custom-made accompaniment.

Like Thomas, Mirco studied classical guitar at the University of Giessen and also studied music education. He has been working as a guitar teacher since 1993 and for music2me since 2015.

Supporting Cast
Of course, online music lessons cannot be taught by teachers alone. The lessons have to be planned, filmed, and edited, the website has to be designed and programmed, and without marketing those willing to learn don't know that music2me even exists. Here you can see all those who make it possible for you to learn the instrument without standing in front of the camera.
Andreas is the idea generator and marketing coordinator at music2me. The common goal is to make learning musical instruments as easy as possible for people. He is a passionate guitarist and has been playing electric guitar since childhood.

Steffen is responsible for the coordination and planning of the teams. For example, he makes sure that all music2me courses are regularly filled with new content. He also plans new recording dates and is the head of our physical products on Amazon and Thomann.de. Since he makes music himself, he can also provide new input musically.
