I am returning to viola after a nearly 15 year hiatus. I was an ok player in my youth but a lazy student and didn’t practice nearly enough. Picking up my instrument has been a mixed bag—my intonation suuuucks and my ear has decayed badly—but I think there’s still a lot of good there and I’m hopeful that this is an opportunity to drop some of my old bad habits.

While I think I have enough of the fundamentals left to get started again on my own, I know I need to find a teacher and actually have no idea how to find one suitable to my level and my goals. Any advice on how to start looking? I don’t have any classical music relationships in my current city.
