All work with the student is in regards to the graduation concert and written paper. An appropriate repertoire and topic are sought.

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.
