Education Minister Daphne Caine says funding for the Island's music service has risen by just 16 per cent in the last 15 years.
She faced a question for written reply from Glenfaba and Peel MHK Kate Lord-Brennan about the money.
In response, Mrs Caine said in 2011 the service was given £679,100 - which had risen to £790,675 last year.
Over the same period, Isle of Man inflation has risen by more than 40 per cent.
