So, did you find something to play? Still looking?
Do you all take any of the grade exams (like ABRSM) or anything like that? Was just curious if any/all of you took those grade exams.
The ABRSM site actually had a discussion regarding adult beginners (like me) and why they might want to consider going through the exam process http://www.abrsm.org/?page=exams/adultLearners. Interesting to read... sorry, guess that's slipping off topic of find a viola competition piece...
