In the present work we develop a theoretical model for roAp stars characterized by the suppression of convection around the magnetic poles. When calculating the growth rates of acoustic oscillations in models of this type we find that most models whose positions in the HR diagram coincide with that of the observed roAp stars are unstable against high-order pulsations.
