This thesis addresses the demands of extended techniques imposed by composers on bassoonists in performing their music. Several factors contribute to the difficulties a bassoonist can experience when using performing extended techniques. The lack of an appropriate learning progression focusing on advanced bassoon playing techniques, the ongoing development of these techniques as well as the absence of a consistent approach to bassoon notation exacerbate this situation. A qualitative research approach incorporating practice-led research through the personal involvement of the researcher was used. The research design includes the experiences and experimentations of the researcher. Data was collected under controlled conditions. The researcher utilised a consistent approach to notation as well as fingering charts and audio recordings to report the results of the research. A sound basic understanding of traditional bassoon playing techniques is underscored. A practical teaching approach is taken in the discourse to enable the aspiring bassoonist to master certain techniques, such as circular breathing, tonguing, pitch sliding and the use of multiphonics and microtones. All these technical aspects are illustrated with appropriate examples, exercises and fingering charts to enhance the learning experience. The practice-led research foregrounds most of the pioneer Bruno Bartolozzi’s findings. These and performing some of the works for bassoon by avant-garde composers have underscored the absolute requirement of mastering the various extended techniques. The insights gained from the research should provide the aspirant bassoonist with the insight and practical skill to master extended bassoon techniques. ae2025 Music DMus Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities 2019-07-08T09:46:36Z 2019-07-08T09:46:36Z 2019/04/26 2019 Thesis Steyn, AC 2019, Extended bassoon techniques : filling the pedagogical gap, DMus Thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/70498> A2019 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/70498 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
