Good for you! Go after what interests you.
I have had a number of teachers, and have taught a good number of students. Having started my musical journey at age six, I have had a few teachers. I was so lucky! You see, teachers and doctors have something in common. About 85% of them are incompetent! When it comes to teachers, not all can teach you what you want. That is why I say at some point you have to become your own teacher.
You decide what you want to learn. To find a teacher who is willing to do that is difficult. Most will want to teach you what they are capable of, which in all likelihood will be limited. No teacher will know all that you desire. That is too much to ask. However, the teacher should be honest enough to tell you his or her limitations, and you must be honest as to your expectations. First you must know what it is that you want to do, and then find a teacher who understands the subject well enough to teach it. You might end up with several teachers over a short period of time from each one, learn bits and pieces, use YouTube, and the many on line sources to gain the necessary knowledge to succeed. Always keep your goal in mind! Point yourself and your efforts in that direction.
To me, the most important thing about learning a musical instrument is techniques. There are so many more things to learn, but if you cannot perform the basic techniques correctly, you will be limited in your ability to play an instrument. I play over a dozen instruments, and each one requires a different set of techniques. From there, you add other essential ingredients, such as timing, and the list goes on.
Well, at age 78 I am still learning. Learning is fun and keeps me going.
