More than 750 people have joined a Facebook group and a petition has been set up in a bid to persuade Midlothian Council to reconsider primary school music tuition cuts.
The council plans to phase out music tuition in primary schools over the next three years.
As part of this year's budget, tuition will be restricted to those currently learning to play an instrument.
Midlothian's Scottish Youth Parliament representative Danielle Rowley (19), from Dalkeith, is fronting a Facebook campaign, which now has more than 750 members.
A petition calling on the council to reconsider the cuts has also attracted more than 240 signatures.
