Course contents

This course works with the student as a distinctive music figure, who has no apparent issues in playing the instrument. The student has an excellent playing technique, tone quality, intonation and performing skills. These are the requirements to withstand competition in the soloist, chamber and orchestral fields. This course continues the set path from the previous course and mainly in one's creative activity, excellent flute technique, tone quality, intonation, moving towards „the perfect form.“ The aim is the highest level of mastery of the most compositions for the flute. International competitions are a good guide for composition selection. However, compositions by Tomasi, Burghauser, Šesták, Boutry, Quantz, Bozza are not neglected. The inclination of some students towards performance of contemporary compositions and experimentors with the instrument is accepted. This orientation may be for many their life's mission. Others who do not share this focus are also guided in an acquaintance of some of those modern approaches such as multiphonics, circular breathing, frulato, etc.
