Finding a piano teacher in Bradenton FL

Hi Folks,
I am attempting to find an instructor for my mom in Bradenton, FL. She plays a couple of Chopin pieces but hasn't studied anything for decades. But she probably needs someone who is well versed in the classical composers.
I have tried googling, yellow pages and craigslist and probably a dozen other music lesson sites but I have found very little leads. What is the best way to locate a good teacher?
Thank you, Ryan

The best way is to ask other people who are in the same situation as your mom is - that is, adults who have returned to piano study after some time away from it, or adult piano students in general. Any social groups that your mother belongs to (churches, community organizations and so on) would be one way of perhaps finding such people.
The no-personal-contact, hunting-through-ads method is not usually a good way to get a teacher, no matter how nice the ads are. She might be lucky that way, but probably not.

Thanks David, the church director is probably a good place to start!
