history

In August 1932, the Central Music School was founded on the initiative of Alexander Goldenweiser at the Moscow Conservatory under the rectorate of Stanislaw Teofilowitsch Schazkij. The youth department of the conservatory initially consisted of 15 students who belonged to Heinrich Neuhaus's department . On May 20, 1935, the music school, housed in a two-story building near the Conservatory, was converted into an independent educational institution by Decree No. 406 of the RSFSR called the Central Music School at the State PI Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow. The first headmistress was Iraida Wassiljewna Wassiljewa, Neuhaus remained the artistic director.

The Central Music School was evacuated to Penza in 1941 due to the war and again moved to Moscow in 1943 to a four-story building in line with the increased number of students. In 1979 the most necessary renovation work was carried out on the heavily worn building, which was abandoned in 1988 in favor of a school building in a Moscow suburb. The school lost its reputation in the following 18 years, as the teachers responsible for musical training at the Moscow Conservatory gradually withdrew due to the insufficient space with only a few opportunities for rehearsals. In 2005 the Central Music School moved into the meanwhile fully renovated former school building near the Moscow Conservatory.

The state high school was and is free for the students. In addition to the main subjects piano, violin and cello, the focus on composition and music theory was established as early as 1954. In addition to Goldenweiser and Neuhaus, the first teachers included the composers and pianists Igumnow , Zeitlin and the violinist Jampolski .
