The aim of this study was to identify elements about
the flow experience and self-regulation processes in the musical practice of an
experienced flutist, relating data from both theories in an exploratory
qualitative study. The methodology used was the in-depth interview. From the
collected data, it was possible to observe the participant's self-regulatory
processes and flow experience in her musical practice. In addition, elements
belonging to the two theoretical foundations were observed. The main elements
of relationship identified in the study of the two theories were: intrinsic
motivation, concentration, autonomy and definition of goals and objectives.
