Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the pedagogical applications of extended techniques in contemporary flute performance and their contribution to a modern flute school. Originating in the avant-garde of the 20th and 21st centuries, these techniques redefine sound production by emphasizing timbre, texture, and unconventional articulation. Their study requires a balanced approach that combines traditional training with experimentation and acoustic awareness. The paper underscores the value of collaborative learning through composer instructions, specialized texts, and practice-based research. It concludes that mastering extended techniques expands the performer’s expressive range and supports a renewed aesthetic and pedagogical perspective in flute performance.
