Ben,

Congratulations! I think that it is great that your back playing the
clarinet. If your looking for a teacher, you may want to call one of the
music schools/universitys in your area. I attended the University of North
Texas in Denton, which isn't far from you at all - you can call them and see
if any of the clarinet instructors can recommend a teacher for your skill
level.

Good Luck!

Jennifer McKenna
