In June 1976, the college celebrated the graduation of its first class, consisting of 50 students. The graduates were appointed as teachers at music schools in the city of Derbent and in the districts of Southern Dagestan, where there was an acute shortage of professionally trained music educators.
Over the years, the college's graduates have pursued careers in music schools, theatres, music colleges, and higher music and teacher-training institutions both within the Republic of Dagestan and elsewhere.
The college's students have won prizes, diplomas, and awards at republican and all-Russian festivals and competitions. The faculty and students actively participate in the concert life of the city and the republic, presenting lectures and concerts while gaining experience in ensemble performance and refining their performance skills.
