The methodology of the viola
Krejbich, Tomáš ; PĚRUŠKA, Jan (advisor) ; UNTERMŰLLER, Karel (referee)
As the title suggests, this diploma thesis is going to question the methods of the viola playing. The word methodology itself is quite a wide topic to discuss,
in the history of the books about music, this literature is very often dedicated to some analysis of the instrument as well as the player himself and their mutual connection and how to work on it. So these are usually overall technique tutorials and manuals given to improve the playing, full of images and pictures, which bring some promise of improvement if being followed word for word. Many books have been written by multiple writers, devoted to all sorts of instruments and each of them gave their imprint and if put altogether, they even might embrace the whole music player's capacity. The goal of the author here is not making another detailed methodology, focused on particular issues, he more wants to discuss the difference between the violin and the viola, since he has had the time to observe both in years and mainly he would like to share the knowledge obtained during his everyday studies, thus contribute or bring someting new to this world of methodology. The work is deeply focused on free-writing more than source-finding, therfore there are minimum of resources or links. It hopes to give help to the potential reader and same the author himself, as he would like to sort out his musical values.

The technology of a trombone is broadly conceived theme, but if we set aside just one sector, the picture would be incomplete and perhaps even nonsensical.
It deals in detail with the construction of the instrument, its production and its difficulties, but also the difficulties of emboucher or a mechanical improvements.

BREATH AND EMBOUCHURE EXERCISES FOR SAXOPHONE
Rajnošek, Bharata ; SLOVÁČEK, Antonín (advisor) ; SOUKUP, Luboš (referee)
This thesis called Breath and Embouchure Exercises for Saxophone deals with the methodology of teaching techniques on the saxophone in a broader sense of all influences on tone creation. It begins with physical posture, continues with basic breathing techniques and only after their expected mastering proceeds to special techniques, which allow mastering of embouchure techniques and habits.
This thesis follows and complements the publication of David Liebman: How to Play the Saxophone. The author goes more in depth where Liebman is too brief. He is not satisfied with just enumerating playing techniques but tries a view from the other side - from quality-aesthetic requirements to individual exercises.
The focus of the thesis is to develop of a comprehensive system of exercises that leads those concerned through individual successive steps towards the ideal mastery of the tone creation technology.
The aim is to provide reassurance to seekers on their way. The author as a teacher makes his proven system available also for other students.

Reiserová, Štěpánka ; MIHULE, Jiří (advisor) ; VÁLEK, Jiří (referee)
Following Diploma Thesis is focused on problematic of oboe teaching to beginners at an Art School. My objective was to summarize the issues as well as a help when solving out the problems whilst teaching. This Thesis might as well be used as a teaching methodology for an incipient teacher. The main source of information was my own experience as well as the experience of other pedagogues from the educational practice.
In the individual chapters there I concentrated on selection of a pupil, suitable age for playing, prerequisites, a correct breathing technique and breathing exercises, the embouchure, a reed for the beginners, an issues of the instruments and their rent or purchase all of which is followed by difficulties occurring with gradual technique of advanced level and a switchover from an automatic system of the instrument to a semi-automatic one. I also mention here instrumental schools, etudes or performances which are available in our country and are also suitable for education. I have also included a chapter about home practicing, means of expression, stage fright, motivation, playing by heart and playing in an orchestra or in a chamber ensemble, or even about competitions. Part of my Thesis is also a questionnaire, which had been answered by teachers of an Art School, and which I made conclusions of.
