music school upon the approval of the Ministry of Education. Numerous problems accompanied and put in jeopardy the work of the School until 1930, when Svetolik Pašćan-Kojanov, a famous conductor, composer and music writer, became the School’s Principal. A period of renaissance followed in 1936 when Rikard Švarc was appointed Principal. By 1941, 210 pupils were enrolled in the school, but the successful work was again interrupted by the Second World War. School relocation After the Second World War, and upon the proposal of the Local Command Office of the Department of Education, Milutin Ružić was hired to organize and gather teachers so that Music School Isidor Bajić might again begin its work. An experienced staff was joined with and strengthened by the addition younger colleagues, and many other diligent, highly professional, and devoted music pedagogues who ushered in a successful new period in the School’s operation. The number of students grew constantly, as did the number of teachers. With such prolific growth, the School soon faced the problem of finding premises large enough for all its classes to be taught. Though this issue remained relevant for several years, it was finally resolved in 1953 when the school was relocated to Njegoševa Street #9. When composer Rudolf Bruči became Principal of the School soon after, another period of constant improvement was born, resulting in 20 years of improved classes and student enrichment, and greater funds for instruments, records, and sheet music. New school building During the time of Principal Mr. Radmila Rakin Martinović, the music school finally moved from its old building (which was a temporary location) in Njegoševa Street in Star Grad neighborhood to its new building (built in 2011) at Tzar Lazar Boulevard along with the ballet school of Novi Sad (founded in 1947), where they share the same building and cooperate with each other.
