M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov State Music and Pedagogical Institute (GMPI) is one of the leading musical educational institutions in Moscow. It implements programs of higher and secondary professional education.

History

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.
