Berlin Flute Studio
"The flute is not an instrument that has a good moral effect—it is too exciting." — Aristotle
With over 15 years of teaching experience, a diverse background as both an orchestral musician and soloist, and a BA, Diplom, and Master’s degree in Music, I am passionate about guiding students on their musical journey with the flute.
My studio is dedicated to discovering creative and inspiring ways to develop musicality. I invite you to explore this website to learn more!
WHAT STUDENTS SAY
Leslie, Potsdam
"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!"
Christiane, Potsdam
"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 amateur player"
Michael, Berlin
"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"
Lesson concept
The technical aspect of flute playing is crucial and serves as our starting point—achieving a good, resonant sound, developing a healthy posture, mastering proper breathing, and good playing habits. However, this must be guided by an artistic approach—what we feel, hear, understand, and seek in music, how we analyze it, and how we imagine it. All of these elements are integral to the lesson.
