I'm regularly playing with the Kammerakedemie Potsdam and a regular guest with Berlin orchestras with over 15 years of teaching experience.
Teaching is my passion. I love developing methods with each student, trying to think out of the box using sometimes kind of "crazy" tools to find ways to improve not only the technical playing, but deepen your musical understanding, and make your technique help you reach more expression.
The atmosphere in the lessons is always friendly and fun, with the goal to bring out the best in you- whether you are preparing for auditions, exams, and concerts, or if you are still a beginner or an amateur player picking up the flute again after a few years, if you are looking to work on your professional abilities as an orchestra player or if you are just looking for interesting, inspiring input for your playing...I'll be happy to work with you!
I have a Master’s Degree and a Diplom degree and have studied with Prof Andrea Lieberknecht in HMT Hannover, Patrick Gallois in CRD Aulney Sous-Bois as well as with Marten Root and Prof. Christoph Huntgeburth (Early flutes). And over 15 years of teaching experience total, and during the last 8 years in Potsdam. I work as an orchestra player and soloist in Berlin and looking forward to meeting you!

I always look forward to my lessons with Avner. He is a very friendly and patient teacher. I learn a lot from him and the 90-minute lessons fly by. He has already given me a lot of advice on my technical problems that you can't find in books. When it comes to musical composition, he always uses the melodic or harmonic structure to explain why you should play something in a certain way and not otherwise. If you then practice daily at home, you will make rapid progress with Avner.

We first met Avner Geiger as a flute teacher for our 14-year-old daughter! Avner was such a great teacher - motivating and flexible! During the Corona years, he was simply incredible, offering challenges and tasks to all of his students via FaceTime, with recordings, and continued teaching despite the lockdown via the internet! Now he is the woodwind and brass ensemble teacher for our son! And there too, he is innovative, attentive, patient! We can only speak positively about Avner, and we are so glad that our children have him as a teacher!

Thank you, Avner for 4 helpful years of lessons. Your professional, easy-going lessons really improved my sound, technique, and articulation. You have motivated and challenged me to take on difficult pieces. Avner's workshops about performance and breathing are recommended to any amature player.
