The MU is calling on parents, musicians and all those who love music in Edinburgh to sign the petition calling on City of Edinburgh Council to save our instrumental music service.
The more people who sign, the more powerful we are and the more we can do to protect access to music for Edinburgh’s children and young people.
Sign the petition now.
What happens next?
City of Edinburgh Council will be launching a “full consultation” on the instrumental music service’s future ahead of cuts of £150,000 in 2021/22 and £350,000 in 2022/23.
We will be contacting petition signatories and MU members who have opted in to receiving emails with updates and easy actions to help save the service for all of Edinburgh’s children and young people.
It’s not just Edinburgh
The instrumental music service in North Lanarkshire is at risk of cuts with no public consultation.
This means no more instrumental lessons for children and young people, and fewer opportunities to get involved in music outside the classroom as well.
If you’re based in North Lanarkshire, please sign the petition to save the instrumental music service.
