A short introductory theremin lesson to playing notes, executing dynamic vibratto, and dynamic volume with the theremin. Playing errors included to demonstrate how difficult it is to play the theremin well.
To get a closer look at the aereal finger technique, right click on the video, select "zoom in" set to desired zoom, and drag the image to where you can see the hand. Instructed by Thomas Grillo on Moog Etherwave Pro theremin. This is not a substitute for professional how to play videos, books,
or in-person instruction with a professional instructor. This video would not have been possible without the invaluable professional training videos, books, and workshops produced by Peter Pringle, Carolina Eyck, Pamelia Kurstin, and Lydia Kavina. All of their methods have been, and are still being
studied by me. Copyright 2007 Thomas Grillo

I will, however be using correct terminology in my upcoming DVD. Thank you, though. ;)
Thanks agian.
How fast can you play on a instrument like this ? I've been thinking of buying a moog etherwave and play it aside the guitar in my indie-band. No fast solos or anything at all but harmonic phrases.
However, with stringed instruments, like guitars, violins, ect, the left hand of the player controls pitch. With theremins, it turns out that Leon originaly built it the way it is now, but Clara Rockmore chose to simply learn how to play it as it was, rather than trouble Leon to redesign it. The
remins can be turned round for opposites.
We don't strike theremins like drums, or pianos, so they're not percussion. They have no strings, or reeds, so they're none of those, but they do sometimes have brass antennas, but they're not brass instruments either. They use no wind, so they're not woodwind. They are electronic, and are cons
idered synthesizers, so they'd be considered electronic. They use a non-tactile interface, and are therefore justurally controlled.
´s music.
Also, visit Kevinkissinger on the web. I believe he has a recording he did by multitracking multiple theremin lines he played on a piece called Ave Verum Corpus. I think he did at least 4 or 5 parts, all on theremin.
