History

In 1920, Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov initiated a movement aimed at propagating classical music among masses. His detailed report presented at the Azerbaijani People's Commissariat of Education (early Soviet analogue of a Ministry of Education) offering the establishment of a high-level music education institution resulted in the approval of his proposal. Thus, the Azerbaijan State Conservatoire was founded on 25 May 1920.^[1] Hajibeyov became one of its first instructors. In the 1920s, he established the unique Oriental Department, where Azeri folk music was taught both traditionally (orally) and by European methods, i.e. using notes.
