[1] The school was named after Kosta Manojlović,[2] the famous Serbian composer, musicologist, founder and first rector of the Faculty of Music[3] in Belgrade.
Conducting the department was entrusted to Dr. Ljudevit Kiš (Sombor 1900 – Budapest 1982), an experienced and high-quality music pedagogue, who taught piano at the school.
The school received a few rooms in the building of the Cultural Center, the site of today's Sports Hall "Pinki" in 1957.
In 1970 the House of Culture was pulled down for the sake of construction of the Sports Hall (today Pinki).
This is the only modern equipped school in the territory of Serbia that has software and a printer for printing notes in Braille for visually impaired and blind children.
