M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov State Institute of Music and Pedagogy

In 1919, People's Music School No. 4 for children and adults opened in Moscow.^[3] In 1923, it was named after Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, who had been the rector of the Moscow Conservatory for the previous five years and had provided significant assistance to the school's development. In the late 1920s, a division into a school and a college occurred. In 1961, the first folk singing department in the USSR was opened at the college. According to data from 1980, the college had 6 specialties and over 580 students.^[4] In 1991, the educational institution received the status of a Higher Musical College. In 1992, it began training specialists with higher education through an evening faculty. Finally, in 1995, it was transformed into the M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov State Music and Pedagogical Institute,^[3] thus moving from Moscow's jurisdiction to federal jurisdiction. In 1999, a postgraduate program began to operate.
