Abstract
One of the tasks of the state cultural policy in the 1920s and 1930s was to create the necessary conditions for the development of musical culture and education in the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR. To solve the problem of personnel training in this sphere, a number of activities were carried out: organization of training courses for cultural and educational work, amateur art instructors, attraction of specialists from the main cities of the country, development of the material base, search for various forms of financing. The most important events in that period were the opening of a children’s music school in Verkhneudinsk (since 1934 — the city of Ulan- Ude) and the first institution of secondary specialised music education — the Technical School of Arts, transformed in 1936 into a Theatre and Music College. The opening of the Technical School allowed the creation of theatres, orchestras, philharmonic society, and contributed to the further development of musical culture and art in the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR. To provide highly qualified personnel, the most talented musicians were sent for internships and studies to the leading universities in the country. As a result, the first decade of Buryat-Mongolian art, held in Moscow in 1940, showed a high level of achievement of creative and professional potential of its participants. Thus, in the 1920s and 1930s, the formation of human resources in the field of musical culture and education in the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR took place.
