About institution

In 1952, a junior music school was founded in Kanjiža, but due to financial problems, it stopped working in 1955. Since 1961, and until 1974, music education had been conducted within the Radnički univerzitet, in the form of a course, when Primary Music School - became part of the Self-Governing Common-Interest Community for Education and Culture. Since 1 October 1978, after "Muzički centar" was certified, it started working independently in Kanjiža and Horgoš, as a unit within the Cultural and Educational Centre.
Since 1 September 2001, the Primary Music School has become an independent institution. At this school, teaching is conducted bilingually (in the Serbian and Hungarian languages).
