When i was a in 4th through 6th grade i was taught to play the viola. I loved it. Then my father got a job transfer from Dallas to San Antonio. Well my new schools never tought this insterment and my parents wouldnt help with private lessons.
Well im 47 now. I want to start learning to play again. I know i will be completly starting over. But i dont even know where to begin.
I now live in Mobile Al and there appears to be no teachers down here. That lwaves me teaching myself. Is this truely even possible? If it is where do i begin?
Any help would be appreciated

Welcome aboard, Bill!
Although this site doesn't get the traffic that our sister-site Fiddlerman.com has, we are growing - slowly but surely - into an internet community of students of the viola.
Ask questions. Post videos for critique and encouragement. Participate in the group projects. Just jump in and make yourself at home here. We're all on the same journey.

Im using the new directions for strings series . I used essential elements when learning violin and they also make a viola series. Im sure they are tons of good methods out there, but these are only what Ive used.
