Founded towards the end of the 18th century, the conservatory pioneered the development of the traditional French flute tradition. The Conservatory has prepared the ground for the formation of the French flute tradition and has played a major role in the development of technique, repertoire and musical expression in flute education and performance, and in the international acceptance of French musical culture on the flute. The most important representative who contributed greatly to laying the foundations of the French flute tradition and is accepted as its founder is Paul Taffanel, one of the flute teachers at the Paris Conservatory, and later Philippe Gaubert, who was Taffanel’s student. Taffanel and Gaubert pioneered many innovations and developments in flute education and performance. One of these is the Morceau Impose tradition. The Morceau Impose tradition, which means compulsory piece, emerged from the practice of students performing pieces that they were required to perform in order to graduate. These pieces were written by flute teachers at the Paris Conservatory or by French composers. The pieces must not have been performed before. In this tradition, the pieces are given to the students who are going to graduate four weeks before their recitals and they perform in front of a jury of five, including the composer of the piece. This tradition, which was implemented at the Paris Conservatory, has been observed to have a wide musical repertoire in the field of flute, in addition to the formation of the French flute tradition. In Türkiye, there are flutists and composers who practice this tradition. In addition, when the music history of the republic is examined, Saffet Atabinen is known as the first Turkish flutist and orchestra conductor to receive training at the Paris Conservatory. Saffet Atabinen contributed to the development of flute education in Türkiye by adopting the technical, artistic understanding of flute performance and the pedagogical approach in flute education implemented at the Paris Conservatory. After Saffet Atabinen, many musicians in our country received training at the Paris Conservatory. In this study, the contributions of the Paris Conservatory to international flute education, as well as the effects of these contributions on flute performance and flute education in Türkiye, were examined historically. This research was conducted using the case study method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, and data were collected by examining written and visual documents.}, number={ISRIS 2025}, publisher={Ordu Üniversitesi}, organization={Yok}
