Cello, Violin, and Piano Lessons

About Me:

Greetings! My name is Thomas Fortner and I am an American cellist, conductor, and music educator based in Berlin, with over ten years of international teaching and performance experience.

I offer private lessons for students of all ages in cello (all levels) as well as beginning violin and beginning piano.

Lessons are available in both English and German.

I hold Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in cello performance, as well as a Postgraduate Diploma in conducting from the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK).

In addition to my private teaching studio, I am currently a guest lecturer in string pedagogy at the University of Potsdam.
