The Bassoon is an instrument in many music ensembles. This course provides students with all skills needed in playing the Bassoon. The course must guide the student to the final bachelor's course. All work with the student is in regards to the graduation concert and written paper. An appropriate repertoire and topic are sought. In order to set the greatest technical challenge for the student, the most difficult etudes in technique, embouchure and breathing aspects are selected - Pivoňka, Bozza. Students achieve refined fingering technique and ability to hold any tone. The tone quality must fulfill the requirements of composition from all style periods. The intonation level must bear the most demanding requirements. A personal approach is necessary. The repertoire of this course is reflected in the interests of the student and is become their calling-card. It is necessary to go through the fundamental Bassoon repertoire - Mozar, Weber, Vivaldi, Domažlický.
