Amelie Protscher (née Zapf) is a multi-instrumentalist and singer based in Berlin, Germany. She plays piano, guitar and electric bass on an equally professional level and also handles other keyed, stringed and percussive instruments, among them organ, Fender Rhodes piano, keyboards, banjo, and mandolin.

In recent years, she devoted a great deal of her attention to the art of solo jazz piano, particularly the „three-handed“ co-linear approach pioneered by Dave McKenna, and is one of the few Germans actively using, and teaching, this fascinating method.
