• Ya. S. Medlin (since 1895, 1925-1927 director)

The need for a musical educational institution became obvious from the first years of the existence of TOIRMO with the organization and holding of its first public concerts. The participants' musical education was mostly at home, with only a few having basic training. That is why the successful concert activities of TOIRMO required well-trained musicians and singers, and a musically educated audience would be more willing to attend concerts. Having a symphony and a brass band, a choir and soloists, one could aim at staging opera performances, the material base of TOIRMO would be strengthened, which has the right to a higher subsidy from the Main Directorate.

Leading champions of development music education A. A. Auerbakh and G. S. Tomashinsky were in Tomsk. They developed a detailed draft regulation on music classes at TOIRMO on the basis of the "Charter for Musical Schools" already available in Russia at that time. In the position, first of all, the goal was determined: to educate instrument performers, singers and singers. The specialties in which they would study at a music school were indicated. Their list is slightly different from the current time. It should be noted the democratic orientation of the proposed activities of the school: people of both sexes, all classes and beliefs, with an education not lower than primary, were accepted. Persons with a higher conservatory education or those who graduated from the Kharkov and Kiev Musical Colleges were to be invited to teach. Certificates were issued to those who completed the course. Almost immediately after the opening of music classes, they were included in the list of educational institutions, whose students, according to the circular of the Department of Railways, were granted the right to concessionary travel on railway. This was undoubtedly in favor of out-of-town students, gymnasium students, students of various schools studying music.

Several years passed in the hassle of finding funds to open a music school. Instruments and notes were bought, concerts were given. Annual reports were sent from Tomsk to the Main Directorate, where the question of opening a music school was invariably raised, and from year to year Tomsk residents were refused "for lack of funds."

Finally, in April 1892, the Main Directorate allowed music classes to be opened in Tomsk. On February 7 (20), 1893, music classes were opened in the building of the Free Library (now known as the cinema named after I. Chernykh)

Music classes began their work with two teachers and 24 students. The piano class was taught by Maria Fedorovna Zubova (student of Professor V. Yu. Villuan), and the violin class was led by Grigory Robertovich Perkovsky (student of Professor of the Moscow Conservatory I. V. Grzhimali). Andrey Andreevich Auerbakh became the director of classes. A year later, the number of students increased and a new specialty was added - solo singing. It was conducted by a graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatory (class of Professor S. I. Gabel) Vasily Ivanovich Rosenoer. He also taught theoretical disciplines.

In 1898, A. A. Auerbakh left Tomsk. Instead of him, a virtuoso pianist, a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory, Leonid Aleksandrovich Maksimov, was invited to the post of director. As a boy, he first studied at junior class prof. N. S. Zvereva, together with S. V. Rakhmaninov, graduated from the conservatory with P. A. Pabs. A pianist of the highest class, who successfully toured Russia, L.A. Maksimov did not want to take into account local circumstances, measuring everything by metropolitan standards. This led to conflict in the music classes. K. I. Tomashinskaya and V. A. Bazhaeva left the teaching staff in 1899 together with their students and began to give private lessons. In 1901, Tomashinskaya opened her own (the first in Tomsk) private school. L. A. Maksimov left two years later.

The tragic events of the Russo-Japanese War, the aggravation of the economic situation, the formidable flurry of the first revolution of 1905-1907 - all this was experienced by the people of Tomsk. At this time, TOIRMO and the music classes experienced a strong shock. There was a conflict, as a result of which the music classes lost a significant part of their students and the best teachers. In the history of the musical life of Tomsk, this event is known as the "Vyadro Case". The political sympathies and moral ideals of TOIRMO members were not the same for everyone. The revolution of 1905-1907, the facts of the Black Hundred pogroms were assessed differently by members of the Musical Society. IN this case the dismissal of the music class teacher B. M. Vyadro had an anti-Semitic character. The leading teachers J. S. Medlin and F. N. Tyutryumova, the artistic council stood up to defend their fellow artist. They expressed their disagreement with the actions of the directorate of TOIRMO in a telegram to the Main Directorate, from where came the answer signed by V. E. Napravnik: "... act according to the Charter and conscience."

120 students, along with teachers, left the music classes. This is how the private school of Tyutrimova arose, where Ya. S. Medlin became the director. During this difficult time, he was invited to the post of director of music classes former entertainer Imperial theater singer Vasily Alekseevich Tsvetkov. He managed to restore the contingent of students, to invite new teachers. Concert life did not stop. With the advent of V. A. Tsvetkov, all the available forces of TOIRMO and music classes were used to stage opera performances. Opera artist V. A. Tsvetkov undertook a huge task - in scenery and bones, with a choir and accompanied by an orchestra, to put on stage the best of Russian and foreign classics. This is how Tomsk residents heard Serov's "Enemy Force", Dargomyzhsky's "Mermaid", Verdi's "Rigoletto", Tchaikovsky's operas.

In 1912, the Main Directorate succumbed to the stubbornness of the Tomsk people, who showed the achievements of the Tomsk branch to a special commission of the RMO. The result of the audit was the assignment of the status of a school to music classes. V. A. Tsvetkov was elected an honorary member of TOIRMO,

Among the directors of the Tomsk Musical College until 1917 there are names of outstanding musicians. Among them: S. T. Abakumov, graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatory, conductor, theorist; Pavel Mikhailovich Vinogradov, graduate of the Moscow Conservatory, pianist; Ya. D. Medlin.

IN music world Tomsk, everything remained unchanged until February 1917. After the February Revolution, the most advanced figures musical culture Tomsk realized that the real opportunity had come to open a conservatory in Tomsk. On the initiative of Ya. S. Medlin and F. N. Tyutryumova and the leaders of the choral singing society P. V. Leonov and N. A. Aleksandrov, their music schools were merged. This is how the first Siberian People's Conservatory arose. Soviet power was established in Tomsk at the end of 1919, and the Musical School of M. L. Shilovskaya, the school of F. N. Tyutryumova, the People's Conservatory - all of them were closed as private educational institutions.

In the 1920s - early 1930s, outstanding graduates graduated from the music school. For example, the future soloist Bolshoi Theater, honored artist Russian Federation M. G. Kuznetsova; Honored Art Worker of the Russian Federation, composer, head of the SibVo Ensemble A. P. Novikov; future assistant professor of the Ural Conservatory, artistic director Ural Russian Folk Choir N. M. Khlopkov; composer, laureate of the Stalin Prize L. B. Stepanov; folk artist, professor of the conservatory L. V. Myasnikova; the future rector of the Alma-Ata Conservatory IV Kruglykhin; Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, soloist of the Perm Opera N. T. Izmailova.

The School of Music celebrated its 40th anniversary with numerous concerts and opera performances. The solemn meeting in honor of the event was welcomed by telegram by the People's Commissar of Education A. V. Lunacharsky.

The year 1937 was a sad one, I feel infinitely sorry for the excellent teachers Ya. S. Medlin, F. N. Tyutryumova, V. A. Muravyov and A. A. Ignatiev, who were shot that year. A number of TMU students were punished by the Gulag. " Eternal memory”The choir sang to them under the direction of F. A. Tugushev at a memorial service in the Peter and Paul Cathedral.

In the late 1930s, two excellent teachers appeared at the music school: E. G. Bach and M. F. Matsulevich. Bach was a well-known pianist and teacher in Europe, author of the book Rational Piano Technique. A German composer who fled from fascism to socialist Russia, he was exiled with his family to Tomsk. M. F. Matsulevich, a graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatory, worked throughout the war as the director of a music school and was exiled to the Mariinsky Siblag for "anti-Soviet propaganda."

1941-1945 The hardest time for the whole country and our people. The school was almost closed "as unnecessary." It was defended by the director M. F. Matsulevits and teachers. Many students and teachers went to the front. The classes were small, as were the graduates. Because of the cold in the classrooms, classes were held at the home of teachers E. I. Korchinsky, M. I. Malomet, M. A. Fedorova and others.

In Tomsk, in addition to the Artillery School, there were other evacuated military educational institutions. Their cadets studied at TMU, such as: V. I. Yakovlev, future professor of the Moscow Conservatory, author of a textbook on trombone, and I. V. Stankevich, associate professor of the Moscow Conservatory, author of a textbook on horn.

Evacuated teachers from Moscow and Leningrad worked at TMU: S. B. Okser, E. N. Tilicheeva (all pioneers drank her songs), G. M. Rimsky - Korsakov - the grandson of Nikolai Andreevich was the organizer of the conductor-choir department of the music school.

During the war years in hospitals, at enterprises of the city and the region, in military units and at the front, Tomsk residents gave more than three thousand concerts. The All-Russian Concert Association (Tour Bureau) was evacuated to Tomsk.

The architecture of the TMU building at 99 Lenin Ave. was not the same as it is now. The facade was decorated with three balconies, which disappeared in the mid-sixties. On Victory Day, May 9, 1945, they turned into concert venues, where music and songs performed by students of the music school sounded. Among them then war invalids were trained - blind, war-crippled people, for whom music became a second profession. They studied in the accordion classes of I. P. Dorofeev and V. T. Feoktistov.

One of the achievements of educational and pedagogical work was the productions in 1948 and 1950 of the operas "Eugene Onegin" by P. I. Tchaikovsky and "Mermaid" by A. S. Dargomyzhsky. It was the work of a revived opera class, symphony orchestra and choir. But no more operas were staged at TMU, the opera class disappeared, and after some time, the vocal department, the functions of which began to be performed by the conductor-choir department.

The theoretical and compositional department was noted in the reports of the 1920s. It is known that outstanding TMU graduates L. B. Stepanov, A. P. Novikov, V. M., Minenko, N. M. Khlopkov graduated from TMU in two specialties, including theory and composition. The branch was closed during the war years. In 1954, it was restored on the initiative of E. N. Korchinsky, who invited new teachers to work.

The 1950s and 1960s were years of loss for the music school. Our golden old people left, young people came to replace them, often students replaced teachers. The symphony orchestra, the opera studio have sunk into oblivion, but the development of the department was a favorable phenomenon. folk instruments. Here we should note the fruitful activity of V. A. Goykhman. After him, VV Marukhlenko, an excellent conductor, arranger, teacher, became the head of the ensemble (he was secretly called the "Virtuosi of Tomsk").

The choirmasters V.P. Melnichenko (Director of TMU) and V.V. Sotnikov (Head of the TSU choir) successfully worked at the conductor-choir department. Then the activity of one of the best choirmasters of the city F. A. Tugushev began. He not only directed the general choir of TMU, but also, following the excellent tradition of the teachers of the school, created the ensemble "Rainbow", and then the famous ensemble "Sotto voce".

In 1988, Viktor Vasilyevich Marukhlenko became the director of the music school. For the first time in the history of the school, the director was not appointed, not invited from outside, but was chosen on the basis of the support and trust of the team. A year later, he headed the commission for the preparation and celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Tomsk Musical College.

1992 was a kind of turning point in the history of the music school. The entire team of students, teachers, employees united in the struggle for the right to study and work in decent conditions. The public of Tomsk, people's deputies, even just citizens of the city and students came to the aid of TMU, who signed petitions to the regional administration. Letters and telegrams from all over the country were sent there in defense of the oldest school in Siberia.

The regional council decided to transfer the building of the former House of Political Education to the music school. In November 1991, TMU, headed by V. V. Marukhlenko, leased part of the building. In 1993, V. V. Marukhlenko, on the basis of the TMU and TSU orchestras, created the municipal Russian folk orchestra.

The hundredth enrollment at the school was made in the specialties: piano, music theory, violin, viola, double bass, oboe, bassoon, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, horn, percussion instruments, balalaika, domra, bayan, accordion, guitar, singing, choral conducting. The school has 61 teachers and large group part-time teachers, illustrators, accompanists. The TMU library contained 50 thousand copies of notes, including notes with autographs by M. I. Malomet, M. L. Shilovskaya.

TMU celebrated its anniversary creative evenings leading teachers. Success fell to the lot of the choir (under the direction of F. A. Tugushev), who performed Beethoven's Fantasia for symphony orchestra, choir and piano (conductor of the Tomsk Symphony Orchestra P. Yadykh, soloist T. Skuybit). The magnificent music of Pergolese "Stabat Mater" (soloist T. Goykhman) was also performed. A series of programs about the history of the school was broadcast on the radio. IN anniversary year 60 concerts were given.

1990s brought the school both successes and disappointments. Successes were associated with the emergence of two prestigious competitions: in 1994 - the Piano Competition. F. N. Tyutryumova, and in 1995 - a competition of performers on folk instruments named after. V. T. Feoktistova. After the celebration of the 100th anniversary and with the advent of competitions, which, although they were regional, but attracted the attention of all Siberia, the authority of the Tomsk Musical College was strengthened. In 1999, the school was named after our graduate, born in Tomsk, worldwide famous composer Edison Vasilyevich

Denisov. TMU began to regularly hold festivals named after him, and then a competition for contemporary piano music performers, which has now become international.

Tomsk College of Music named after E.V. Denisov is an institution of secondary specialized musical professional education, the first and oldest in Russian Asia.

Full official name as of June 2013: Tomsk Regional State Educational Institution of Secondary Vocational Education "Tomsk Musical College named after Edison Vasilievich Denisov" of the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Administration of the Tomsk Region.

In Tsarist Russia
Tomsk musical educational institution is one of the first educational music institutions on the territory from the Volga region (Kazan) to Far East and is one of the first colleges in the vast province. Its appearance was predetermined by the very status of the city as a university, scientific, industrial, gold mining and merchant outpost of the country in the spaces of Russian Asia to late XIX century. Gradually in Tomsk is formed cultural environment necessary for rooting in the life of citizens various kinds arts, conditions are created for the perception of works musical art. In posters musical evenings 1870 you can find works by Franz Liszt, Chopin, Glinka, Mendelssohn ...
The history of musical education in Tomsk begins on February 7, according to the old style of the Russian calendar (or February 20, according to the new style) of 1893, begins with the opening of Music classes at the Tomsk branch of the Imperial Russian Musical Society. The opening of the Tomsk branch of the Imperial Russian Musical Society took place in the early 1880s. The initiative is attributed to the exiled musician and public figure, a member of the Russian Musical Society Andrei Andreevich Auerbakh, who had previously organized a small elementary music school in the city and actively raised the issue of the need to open a full-fledged Musical College in the provincial center. The idea was also supported by Tomsk merchants.
After the celebrations, studies began on February 10 (23), 1893. Then 25 students were accepted into two classes. The appearance of the institution was a bright cultural event throughout Siberia; the governor of the Tomsk province personally arrived at its opening. The class leaders were well-known in Russia musicians with higher education, graduates of the Moscow Conservatory: the piano class was led by M.F. Zubova, violin class - G.R. Perkovsky. Academic year was organized according to the programs of the capital's music schools, teaching was at the highest musical level. The first Charter of the institution stated that only people with a higher (conservatory) education can be teachers, and until the time of the Soviet regime, this requirement was strictly observed. The first director (1893-1898) of the Music Classes was Andrei Andreevich Auerbach himself.
In 1912, the directorate of the Russian Musical Society allowed the Tomsk music classes to be reorganized into a full-fledged Musical College. At the same time, it was strengthened educational program, the basis of which was the conservatory training program. Recruitment at TMU was carried out on a very democratic basis, older children of both sexes with a minimum primary (or parochial) education and with basic musical skills were accepted for training. At the same time, tuition fees were much lower than in other secondary educational institutions in Siberia, but even so, talented young people could (by decision of the board of trustees) even study for free.
For some time, Tetryumova's piano music class was located on the second floor of the modern Gifts store (89 Lenina Ave. / 1 ​​Plekhanova Lane)
Until 1915, pianists worked at the school - graduates of the Moscow Conservatory in the class of professors A. Siloti, N.K. Igumnova, A. Esipova.
The high achievements of the Tomsk Musical College were noted by the state commission headed by the State Councilor Petrov. When he carefully looked at everything, he was amazed that operas were staged in Tomsk. This was a revelation for him. The level of training was so high that if a student was sent, say, to the Moscow Conservatory, with a recommendation from Tomsk and a testimonial, then he did ...
Vorobyova N.A. "110 years of the Tomsk Musical College" // Report of the Club of local historians "Old Tomsk", 2003
Such a student, for example, was Yulia Adolfovna Bilevich, who completed the course of Shilovskaya, who returned to Tomsk after the Moscow Conservatory and began working as a teacher at the Shilovskaya school. When the school was closed after the revolution, Bilevich was left without a job, but then she was nevertheless invited to the Music College and until the end of her life she worked in the institution as a teacher.
There were truly outstanding people among the people of the Music College. In the 1920s, the soloist of the Imperial Theaters Anton Bonacic, who is known as a magnificent performer of opera arias, shone. Soloist of the Imperial Theaters Ivan Matchinsky. Once Matchinsky was listening to Lenin. He was an outstanding singer, but by nature he was not a very accommodating person, others did not like him very much, but, nevertheless, he worked in Tomsk for two years. And the fact that they strengthened the vocal department of the music school with their authority, talent and abilities is obvious. With a gold medal, he graduated from the St. Petersburg Conservatory B.V. Pomerantsev, taught piano. Inna Vladimirovna Ivanova graduated from the Moscow Conservatory (class of Scriabina). By the way, the great-niece of F.M. Dostoevsky. Two of the teachers graduated from the Warsaw Conservatory. In 1895 Yakov Solomonovich Medlin arrived. As a violinist, he was a student of Bartsevich. A few years later he returned from Warsaw with a diploma of bandmaster Moses Isaevich Malomet (Malomet-second, since 1902 he changes his creative name to Y.S. Meidlin). From the beginning of the 1930s, he began to work at the Tomsk musical technical school / college. An unforgettable and unique phenomenon in the life of an educational institution is Feofaniya Nikolaevna Tyutryumova, who before the revolution of 1917 taught a piano class. Tyutryumova was a pianist, played a lot, performed a lot as a soloist in ensembles. She had excellent graduates. She specially trained accompanists and illustrators for silent films, and then, when sound appeared in motion pictures in the 1930s, there was no need for this specialty. Among its graduates is Lev Borisovich Stepanov, the son of Professor Stepanov, who turned out to be musically talented person. After graduating from the Tomsk Musical College, he left for Moscow, studied at the Moscow Conservatory in courses with professors Myaskovsky and Rakov. Stepanov studied composition, and already in the 1930s he presented a number of operas for staging, including Darvaz Gorge for the Stanislavsky Theater. Then, even before the Great Patriotic War, he wrote the ballet "Crane Song", which was later presented on tour in Tomsk in the repertoire of the Ufimsky opera house. It's really interesting ballet, it is interesting both in music and in choreography, in staging.
(According to the materials of N.A. Vorobyova)
1920s - 1930s
During the Revolution and the Civil War in Siberia (1917-December 1919) it was very problematic to conduct music lessons in Tomsk. However, classes, albeit in a compressed form, continued, interest in classical music-making remained both among the white intelligentsia and the new, red government, which was established in Tomsk from the beginning of January 1920.
This year the school received the status of the highest educational institution R.S.F.S.R., received the name State Higher School of Music Siberia Department of Political Education of the Tomsk Provincial Executive Committee (GVMSHS). The training was conducted in three specialties: piano, orchestral instruments, solo singing. After the expropriation of the Siberian Trade Bank (STB), the new Soviet government transferred the STB building to a new technical school of culture.
According to the new education reform, conceived by People's Commissar Lunacharsky, as filling the RSFSR with a new revolutionary form of educational institutions - technical schools, in 1921 the GVMShS was disbanded, on its basis the Tomsk Musical College of the Vocational Education Department of the Tomsk Gubernia Executive Committee was re-established. In this somewhat strange status, it operated for 10 years. Apparently, in order to smooth out the absurdity of the name, in 1931 the educational institution returned to the form of the Tomsk Musical College (music school of the second formation). It should be noted that in the "technicum" period in 1923, the bayan class was opened in the institution, which laid the foundation for the creation of a department of Russian folk instruments (ORNI).
In May 1927, the Music College… organized the first musical and methodological exhibition in Siberia. An important place was given to the demonstration of the instruments of the "Great Russian" orchestra: guitars, balalaikas, mandolins, domra and accordion. The exhibition became a decisive fact for the opening of a special class for teaching folk instruments in the musical college. New cultural institutions were opened across the country, populist specialists were in demand. The button accordion became the first instrument of the opened class, and the first teacher musical college in the bayan class was Alexander Rozhkov. Among his students was Vladimir Feoktistov, who entered the preparatory department of the Tomsk Musical College on the recommendation of the Union of Art Workers.
In the 1930s the musical college again becomes the all-Siberian (West Siberian Territory) educational institution and is renamed the Tomsk Musical College of the Department public education Zapsibkrai executive committee.
Since the pre-revolutionary years of the beginning of the 20th century, the choir class has become one of the compulsory disciplines for students of all specialties in the school. On its basis, in the fall of 1943, a department of choral conducting was opened.
The history of the institution in 1928-1953, as well as the history of the country, is connected with the Moloch of Stalinism.
Quote from N.A. Vorobyova, 2003:
... As for the 1930s, it certainly was a very severe test. Medlin, Tyutryumova, Muravyov and Ignatiev were shot in 1937. Then Erwin Bach appeared here, he worked in Tomsk for two years. Erwin Bach is a German communist who fled from the Nazis in Germany, first to Czechoslovakia, then to the USSR. When the war ended, Erwin Bach left for Germany. After his death, his son Wolfgang Bach sent the score of his father's 4th symphony to Tomsk, it is now (stored) in the Philharmonic and is waiting for its performance.
A bright trace in the fate of the school and cultural development Tomsk was provided by Magda Frantsevna Matsulevich. In her youth, she often heard A. Scriabin, S. Rachmaninov, and A. Siloti at concerts, and studied at the conservatory with Shostakovich and Prokofiev. In Tomsk, she found herself in front of the Great Patriotic War and immediately not only took the place of one of the leading piano teachers, but also joined the active concert life, performing solo, in ensembles and as an accompanist. Almost on the day the war began, on June 22, 1941, the director of the school went to the front. And Magda Frantsevna was appointed in his place. The Novosibirsk regional leadership decided to close the Tomsk Musical College. But the zeal of the proletarian officials from Novosibirsk but faced very active resistance, first of all, Magda Frantsevna, and after 2 weeks the order to liquidate the TMU was canceled. In December 1945, Matsulevich was arrested and accused of anti-Soviet activities; she, like many others, fell into the moloch of Stalinist repressions.
In 1944 (with the re-formation of the Tomsk region), the school became an institution of the territorial system of secondary vocational education and was renamed the Tomsk Regional Music School of the Art Department of the Tomsk Regional Executive Committee. Since 1949, it has been under the jurisdiction of the Department of Culture of the Tomsk Regional Executive Committee. Since 1954, training in the specialty "Music Theory" began.

The Tomsk musical educational institution is one of the first educational musical institutions in the territory from the Volga region (Kazan) to the Far East and is one of the first colleges of the vast province. Its appearance was predetermined by the very status of the city as a university, scientific, industrial, gold mining and merchant outpost of the country in the spaces of Russian Asia by the end of the 19th century. Gradually, a cultural environment is being formed in Tomsk, which is necessary for the rooting of various types of art in the everyday life of citizens, conditions are being created for the perception of works of musical art. In the posters of musical evenings in 1870, one can find works by Franz Liszt, Chopin, Glinka, Mendelssohn ...

The history of music education in Tomsk begins from February 7th to old style Russian calendar(or February 20 to new style) 1893, starts from the moment of opening Music classes at the Tomsk Branch of the Imperial Russian Musical Society. Opening of the Tomsk branch itself Imperial Russian Musical Society took place in the early 1880s. The initiative is attributed to the exiled musician and public figure, a member of the Russian Musical Society Andrei Andreyevich Auerbakh, who had previously organized a small primary music school in the city and actively raised the issue of the need to open a full-fledged Musical College in the provincial center. The idea was also supported by Tomsk merchants.

After the celebrations, studies began on February 10 (23), 1893. Then 25 students were accepted into two classes. The appearance of the institution was a bright cultural event throughout Siberia; the governor of the Tomsk province personally arrived at its opening. Well-known in Russia musicians, specialists with higher education, graduates of Moscow Conservatory: Class piano hosted by M.F. Zubova, class violins- G.R. Perkovsky. The academic year was organized according to the programs of the capital's music schools, teaching was at the highest musical level. The first Charter of the institution stated that only people with a higher (conservatory) education can be teachers, and until the time of the Soviet regime, this requirement was strictly observed. The first director (1893-1898) of the Music Classes was Andrei Andreevich Auerbach himself.

In 1912 the directorate Russian Musical Society made it possible to reorganize the Tomsk music classes into a full-fledged School of Music . At the same time, the educational program was strengthened, the basis of which was the conservatory training program. Recruitment at TMU was carried out on a very democratic basis, older children of both sexes with a minimum primary (or parochial) education and with basic musical skills were accepted for training. At the same time, tuition fees were much lower than in other secondary educational institutions in Siberia, but even so, talented young people could (by decision of the board of trustees) even study for free.

For some time, Tetryumova's piano music class was located on the second floor of the modern Gifts store (89 Lenina Ave. / 1 ​​Plekhanova Lane)

Until 1915, pianists worked at the school - graduates of the Moscow Conservatory in the class of professors A. Siloti, N.K. Igumnova, A. Esipova.

The high achievements of the Tomsk Musical College were noted by the state commission headed by the State Councilor Petrov. When he carefully looked at everything, he was amazed that in Tomsk they were staging operas. This was a revelation for him. The level of training was so high that if a student was sent, say, to the Moscow Conservatory, with a recommendation from Tomsk and a testimonial, then he did ...

Such a student, for example, was Yulia Adolfovna Bilevich, who graduated from the course of Shilovskaya, who returned to Tomsk after the Moscow Conservatory and began working as a teacher at the Shilovskaya school. When the school was closed after the revolution, Bilevich was left without a job, but then she was nevertheless invited to the Music College and until the end of her life she worked in the institution as a teacher.

There were truly outstanding people among the people of the Music College. In the 1920s, the soloist of the Imperial Theaters Anton Bonacic, who is known as a magnificent performer of opera arias, shone. Soloist of the Imperial Theaters Ivan Matchinsky. Once I listened to Matchinsky Lenin. He was an outstanding singer, but by nature he was not a very accommodating person, others did not like him very much, but, nevertheless, he worked in Tomsk for two years. And the fact that they strengthened the vocal department of the music school with their authority, talent and abilities is obvious. Graduated with a gold medal Petersburg Conservatory B.V. Pomerantsev, taught piano. Inna Vladimirovna Ivanova graduated from the Moscow Conservatory (class of Scriabina). By the way, great-niece F.M. Dostoevsky. Among teachers Warsaw Conservatory two finished. In 1895 Yakov Solomonovich Medlin arrived. As a violinist, he was a student of Bartsevich. A few years later he returned from Warsaw with a diploma Kapellmeister Moisei Isaevich Malomet (Malomet II, since 1902 he changes his creative name to Y.S. Meidlin). From the beginning of the 1930s, he began to work at the Tomsk musical technical school / college. An unforgettable and unique phenomenon in the life of an educational institution is Feofaniya Nikolaevna Tyutryumova, who taught a piano class before the 1917 revolution. Tyutryumova was a pianist, played a lot, performed a lot as a soloist in ensembles. She had excellent graduates. She specially trained accompanists and illustrators for silent movie, and then, when sound appeared in motion pictures in the 1930s, there was no need for this specialty. Among its graduates is Lev Borisovich Stepanov, the son of Professor Stepanov, who turned out to be a musically talented person. After graduating from the Tomsk Musical College, he went to Moscow, studied at the Moscow Conservatory in courses with professors Myaskovsky and Rakov. Stepanov studied composition, and already in the 1930s he presented a number of operas for staging, including Darvaz Gorge for the Stanislavsky Theater. Then, before Great Patriotic War, he wrote the ballet "Crane Song", which was later presented on tour in Tomsk in the repertoire Ufa Opera Theater. This is a really interesting ballet, it is interesting both in terms of music and choreography, in terms of staging.

1920s - 1930s

During the Revolution and the Civil War in Siberia (1917-December 1919) it was very problematic to conduct music lessons in Tomsk. However, classes, albeit in a compressed form, continued, interest in classical music-making remained both among the white intelligentsia and the new, red power, which was established in Tomsk from the beginning of January 1920.

This year the school received the status of a higher educational institution. R.S.F.S.R., was named State Higher Musical School of Siberia of the Department of Political Education of the Tomsk Gubernia Executive Committee (GVMSHS). Training was conducted in three specialties: piano, orchestral instruments, solo singing. After the expropriation of the Siberian Trade Bank (STB), the new Soviet government transferred the STB building to a new technical College culture.

According to the new education reform, conceived People's Commissar Lunacharsky, as filling the RSFSR with a new revolutionary form of educational institutions - technical schools, in 1921 the GVMSHS was disbanded, on its basis it was re-created Tomsk Music College department of vocational education of the Tomsk provincial executive committee. In this somewhat strange status, it operated for 10 years. Apparently, to smooth out the absurdity of the name, in 1931 the educational institution returned to the form Tomsk Musical College (music school second formation) . It should be noted that in the "technicum" period in 1923, the institution opened button accordion class who initiated the creation departments of Russian folk instruments(ORNI).

In May 1927, the Music College… organized the first musical and methodological exhibition in Siberia. An important place was given to the demonstration of the instruments of the "Great Russian" orchestra: guitars, balalaikas, mandolins, domra and accordion. The exhibition became a decisive fact for the opening of a special class for teaching folk instruments in the musical college. New cultural institutions were opened across the country, populist specialists were in demand. The button accordion became the first instrument of the opened class, and Alexander Rozhkov was the first teacher of the music college in the button accordion class. Among his students was Vladimir Feoktistov, who entered the preparatory department of the Tomsk Musical College on the recommendation of the Union of Art Workers.

(Vasilina Sypchenko. "Competition in honor of Feoktistov". Magazine "Persona", 2013.)

In the 1930s the musical technical school again becomes all-Siberian ( West Siberian Territory) by an educational institution and is renamed to Tomsk Musical College of the Department of Public Education of the Zapsibkrai Executive Committee.

Since the pre-revolutionary years of the early twentieth century, one of the compulsory disciplines for students of all specialties in the school has become choir class .

The history of the institution in 1928-1953, as well as the history of the country, is connected with the Moloch of Stalinism.

Quote from N.A. Vorobyova, 2003:

... As for the 1930s, it certainly was a very severe test. Medlin, Tyutryumova, Muravyov and Ignatiev were shot in 1937. Then Erwin Bach appeared here, he worked in Tomsk for two years. Erwin Bach is a German communist who fled from the Nazis in Germany, first to Czechoslovakia, then to the USSR. When the war ended, Erwin Bach left for Germany. After his death, his son Wolfgang Bach sent the score of his father's 4th symphony to Tomsk, it is now (stored) in the Philharmonic and is waiting for its performance.

A bright trace in the fate of the school and the cultural development of Tomsk itself was made by Magda Frantsevna Matsulevich. In her youth, she often heard A. Scriabin, S. Rachmaninov, and A. Siloti at concerts, and studied at the conservatory with Shostakovich and Prokofiev. In Tomsk, she found herself before the Great Patriotic War and immediately not only took the place of one of the leading piano teachers, but also joined an active concert life, performing solo, in ensembles and as an accompanist. Almost on the day the war began, on June 22, 1941, the director of the school went to the front. And Magda Frantsevna was appointed in his place. The Novosibirsk regional leadership decided to close the Tomsk Musical College. But the zeal of the proletarian officials from Novosibirsk but faced very active resistance, first of all, Magda Frantsevna, and after 2 weeks the order to liquidate the TMU was canceled. In December 1945, Matsulevich was arrested and accused of anti-Soviet activities; she, like many others, fell into the moloch of Stalinist repressions.

In 1944 (with the re-formation of the Tomsk region), the school became an institution of the territorial system of secondary vocational education and was renamed into Tomsk Regional Musical College of the Art Department of the Tomsk Regional Executive Committee. Since 1949, it has been under the jurisdiction of the Department of Culture of the Tomsk Oblast Executive Committee. Since 1954, training in the specialty "Music Theory" began.

Post-war and present

Theoretical disciplines at TMU have been conducted since the opening of the Music Classes. Training in the specialty " music theory started in 1954. At the beginning of the twentieth century, one of the compulsory disciplines for students of all specialties in the school was choir class. On its basis, in the autumn of 1943, it was opened department of choral conducting.

Since 1991, the school has been run by the department (department) of culture of the Administration of the Tomsk Region.

In 2000, a new specialty was opened - “ Musical education».
