The history of the department dates back to the founding of the Conservatory. During this period, outstanding musicians worked at the department: Z. M. Mambetaliev — Professor, Honored Artist of the Kyrgyz Republic; K. A. Aitygulov — Professor, People’s Artist of the Kyrgyz Republic; A. K. Kurbanaliev — Professor, Honored Artist of the Kyrgyz Republic. The department has graduated more than two hundred certified musicians and teachers who work in symphony, wind, and military orchestras both in the republic and abroad.
Today, the Department of Wind and Percussion Instruments is a “forge” for talented young people passionate about music. It is this passion that is the defining quality during the annual selection of a new generation. Knowledge of music makes their lives meaningful, fulfilling, and interesting, and whatever they may become in the future, the love of music acquired within the walls of the conservatory will stay with them forever.
