Staff comments
1. The Shubin Children's School of Music is referred to in Russian as "Музыкальная школа имени Шубина" and in Kyrgyz as "Шубин атындагы музыкалык мектеп". 2. The technical grant used to purchase the musical instruments, originating from the People's Republic of China, is currently unknown. The issue warrants further investigation.
