History
Baku Music Academy named after Uzeyir Hajibeyli, previously called Azerbaijan State Conservatory, was established on August 21, 1921. The great founder of Azerbaijani classical music and professional composition school Uzeyir Hajibeyli who played a great role in the establishment of Baku Music Academy was an outstanding personality having a priceless place in the development of Azerbaijani music culture and music education.
Famous composers Gara Garayev, Fikrat Amirov, Jovdat Hajıyev, Arif Melikov, Khayyam Mirzazade, Firangiz Alizade, Vasif Adıgezalov, Jahangir Jahangirov, Rauf Hajiyev, Tofiq Quliyev, Suleyman Alesgerov, Musa Mirzayev, Azer Rzayev, İsmayıl Hajıbeyov, Elnara Dadashova, Azer Dadashov and others have made great contributions to the propagation of Azerbaijani music all over the world. The great Azerbaijani composer Gara Garayev founded a new national performing school by actively combining Eastern and Western traditions. 
In the 1920s, an Eastern Department was established on Uzeyir Hajibeyli’s initiative at Baku Music Academy. Thus, an impetus was given to the important role of folk instruments in the development of national music culture. 
A new fundamental base for students of the Conservatory – School-studio was founded under the Conservatory in 1981. Many important events, numerous conferences have been organized in the Opera Studio since 1984 until today.
The rector of Baku Music Academy, Professor Farhad Badalbeyli, (since 1991) is the great pianist, People’s Artist of USSR and Azerbaijan, laureate of State award, the first laureate of the international competition in Azerbaijani performing school (1981 Portugal). In 1988 the Union of Music Figures of Azerbaijan was founded by his initiative. 
The educational system of Baku Music Academy has also joined the latest reforms by implementing the multilevel educational system and Bologna process. A number of very famous foreign professors such as M.Rоstropovich, B.Davidovich, D.Siтkovетskiy, M.Kabalye, E.Obraztsova, İ.Moniqetti, Yo Yo Ma, D.Mogilevski, M.Vengerov, N.Koqan, A.Bankas, A. Bonduryanski etc. have been invited to Baku Music Academy to hold master classes and seminars. 
BMA is highly interested in the protection and stimulation of variety of forms of cultural expression, stimulating a dialogue among cultures aimed at providing more broad and balanced cultural exchanges, promoting respect to a variety of forms of cultural expression and increasing the understanding of the value of such diversity on local, national and international levels. The logic of regional and transnational integration coming out of Bologna appears to underpin many of the international projects and initiatives across a broad range of countries and serves as coordinating body for mobility agreements and scholarships. Subsequently, BMA aims at strengthening of relationships with other Higher Educational Institutions (HEI) and at widening social and economic environment.
Baku Music Academy is currently the only higher education institution in Azerbaijan that has been implementing LoLa (Low Latency Audio-visual streaming System) project with support of GEANT (European Association of Science and Education Networks) within the framework of the EaPConnect project of the European Commission. The project enables to organize real-time performances among several institutions at a remote distance with very low latency.
In addition to a number of other previous successfully implemented projects, Baku Music Academy is currently successfully realizing EURASIA project with the Grieg Academy of the University of Bergen (Norway) for developing expertise in the Artistic Research programme and Creative Spark project with East London University (United Kingdom) funded by the British Council for developing entrepreneurship skills among university students.
