http://www.thomasgrillo.com 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

According to the worlds first female thereminist-Clara Rockmore, "theremin is the most difficult instrument in the world to play WELL"...and "It takes at least a year to master, and works take at least a month and a half to concertize".

Thanks for the kind words. You can get theremins at soundslikeburns on the web. Also at moogmusic, and wavefront.

I've seen some videos around youtube with this before, and I honestly wasn't too sure if they were legit. Luckily I stumbled upon this, so thanks. =) I wouldn't mind playing around with this, it sounds amazing.

where would be a good website to purchase a good quality Theremin?

You're not alone. The theremin is still unheard of for many people, even today, after nearly 90 years since it was first invented by Leon Theremin, back in 1919. It nearly went into oblivion back in the 60, and 70s, but it's enjoying a comeback in many genres of music, and many forms of entertainment.
