Flute 9 is oriented towards preparations for the Master's graduation concert and the Master's thesis. An appropriate repertoire and topic are sought. Considering that the graduation concert is not only the calling card of the instructor, the student is guided to independent decisions about what the dramaturgy of the concert is to contain. This decision must be supported by a knowledge of dramaturgy, thought which links the entire evening. This course gives the student the opportunity to select their own concept. Similarly in the thesis, the students interest in some of the topics is reflected. The guides the student to their independent original path awaiting them after leaving school. The student is prepare for an independent career. Their viewpionts are compared to those of the professor and directed to the proper or potential area. This course works with the student as a prominent musician who has no evident issues in playing. They have a high technique level, tone quality, intonation and peformance skills. These are requirements to stand up to competition in the soloist, chamber and orchestra music fields. This course continues the set path of the previous course of creative activity, very good flute technique, tone quality, intonation, and shifts toward the „perfect form“. The aim is to master at the highest level the greatest number of compositions for flute. International competitions are a good guide for selecting compositions.
