Kuflyuk were also selected in its system of absolute pitch development. In particular, it is explained that from the relational techniques of Z. Kodai, H. Kalyuste, V. Kovaliv and others, he borrowed only manual showing and the "stairs" method. Just like Z. Kodai and many Ukrainian music teachers (F. Kolessa, S. Lyudkevych, K. Stetsenko, M. Leontovych), V. Kuflyuk uses folklore as a material for training solfeggio. Method of listening of the individual sounds, which developed A. Karasev and S. Caruso was not adopted with V. Kuflyuk. The systems of musical-aesthetic development of K. Orf and D. Kabalevsky are projected on the methods of V. Kuflyuk using collective singing and some movement elements. Ideas of S. Sudzuki (early beginnings of musical training, method of inheritance, collective performance of works) resonate with methods V. Kuflyuk, but they are transformed by Kuflyuk for achieving the other goal − the development of absolute pitch. The most important place in the methods of V.
