The establishment of the first higher institute of music in Egypt dates back to the academic year 1935–1936, when a music department was founded within the Advanced Primary School for Female Teachers in Shubra. Its aim was to prepare female teachers to teach music at girls’ schools across various educational stages. Applicants were required to hold the Baccalaureate Certificate, and the program duration was three years. The department was later transferred to the Institute of Art Education for Girls in Zamalek.
The college is dedicated to caring for its students and providing the best possible services. As such, it offers programs aimed at supporting and assisting international students to help ensure their stability and academic success.
The library houses a large collection of books in both Arabic and English, specializing in music and other fields. It also contains a vast number of musical scores by most renowned local and international composers, many of which are rare.
