@Trisha_the_doc @FionaMacF @KnoxDknoxgordon @sfcallaghan If we put our waistcoats on does it mean we’re professionals and therefore allowed to play? @KnoxDknoxgordon , consult the lawyers!

Mamma Mia, Here we go again...🎶😞 @BBCScotland @STVEdinburgh @Mid_Advertiser @TheScotsman, you turn your back for one minute and, like an incalcitrant toddler, they get up to mischief.

Dear #SWNT - you’ve taken Scotland to our first World Cup in 21 years, scored our first ever goals in a women’s World Cup, and inspired our nation. I know how heartbroken you will feel right now, but hold your heads high - you’ve done us proud ❤��� #SCO

When the news cameras are on them, they save they’ve ‘saved’ music from THEIR cuts. Then quietly try to make all our instructors redundant a few months later. I’m sick of our council, I demand a new one! https://t.co/d1TAmZV6OB

Once again @midgov are planning to get rid of the Instrumental Music Service at their full council meeting on Tuesday. Full papers on their website. We MUST stop this insane move @savemidmusic @Mid_Advertiser @edinburghpaper @forthone @MidlothianView

2 days to go, less than £2,000 to find. We can do this! #changethetune https://t.co/IoTwc1XamF

Education secretary accepts music tuition charges could be stopping pupils pursuing music qualifications and tells councils the only way to deal with the problem is to abolish fees https://t.co/8kOQDvdivA

Hey @LewisCapaldi , help us ensure all Scottish kids get a fair chance to learn an instrument? A retweet would be fantastic!

[Midlothian CCBand @MidlothianCCB]

What can £1 can get you these days? A Mars bar? 1/3 of a latte? A fair chance of a musical education?
Help us ensure our education system recognises music as part of our children’s education and funds it appropriately.

You were so good helping us spread the word about our protest, @RSNO but this is wider reaching and a potentially permanent solution. Could you help again by retweeting the link?

Woohoooooo! Well done Midlothian pupils! We have a space saving idea for the next protest- who needs stands when you have hoods and pegs? 😂 #SaveMidlothianMusicTuition #ChangeTheTune

[Karine Polwart @IAMKP]

If you’re feeling like protest makes no difference ... this morning Midlothian Council axed plans to axe music and expressive arts from my local schools ... in response to overwhelming beautiful noisy protest! So speak, sing!!

[Morna O'May, CVA, FRSA @MornaOmay]

Well done @savemidmusic @MidlothianCCB 👏
Next step is to ensure music tuition is free for all across Scotland as per @SP_EduSkills recommendation.

It’s more than just killing music in schools, ultimately it means no longer having those skills in our economy. And that’s crazy, when entertainment is such an important part of Scotland’s present AND future!

[Midlothian CCBand @MidlothianCCB]

‘Ah, music,’ he said, wiping his eyes. ‘A magic beyond all we do here!’ #AlbusDumbledore knew a thing or two about the importance of music in a child’s life. Join our pupils to protest cuts to music tuition tomorrow @jk_rowling #SaveMidlothianMusicTuition

[MUSIC NEWS Scotland @MusicNewsScot]
