Doesn't look like the location is that important from the first post... |

| I would certainly class Bob/Romford as London! And I'd also agree that location is irrelevant - if you want to learn Moeller technique properly, go to Bob Armstrong. I don't care if you have to travel from London, Midlands or the Middle East. Worth every mile of the trip for his gold. |

It was a bit of an unneccisary point to make Tim, seeing as though Romford is all of 2 and a half minutes from areas that would be classed as London! |

For those that do not know,the new London boundary stretches as far as you can physically push a Tubby Isaac's Jellied Eel Stall from Bow into Essex.
You should go to the best,not the most convenient as you will only benefit in the long run. |

Go to Bob Armstrong...er.. Unless he's moved recently, in Hornchurch if we're being pedantic.
I used to drive from Skegness for a 10.00 am lesson, (Only time he had available, and that was after a 6 month spell on the waiting list.)
Best money I ever spent.

He has moved - Romford city center last time I was with him - unless he's moved in the last 48 hours  |

Jeff Lardner, Nice guy!
It was Jeff who got me in with Bob.
In those days, late 90's, Bob didn't have a website and was ex-directory. Jeff was with the BBC big band guesting on a cruise ship I was playing on. I was asking him about some stuff he was doing, he did show me, but he also gave me Bob's number. The rest is history, (and geography apparently. )

For "true" or traditional Moeller, there is no-one finer than Mal Garrett!

I think you'll find Bob's Moeller to be fairly "true" and "traditional" also! |

| Mal Garrett in Brum, no need to go to London. Mal studied with Chapin as a personal friend for 20 something years or more. I hear Bob's top too, but don't know him. |

Have studied with Bob Armstrong and totally agree - worth every mile of the trip! He's the man for Moeller as well as a lot more! |

Any idea how to contact Mal Garrett, I can't find a website or email address. Not had any success through the conservatoire due to "data protection".
