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.

  • very nice ! thanks Maestro !

  • @pluiedavril You're welcome. :)

  • Wow! Thanks for educating me. I was looking at Green screen kits at Amazon. Saw your review. Came to youtube and searched for evening prayer. And I'll be honest. I thought it was a joke at first. Never heard about the theremin before. I really appreciate you making this video - it was fascinating and educational. Thanks!

  • @pilanceboil Nope, no joke. ;) You're welcome. I'm glad you came away learning about the theremin as well as being properly entertained. Hope you enjoy the more recent vids too.

  • I am here simply because i am interested in this instrument.......sound ghosty to me

  • @paulineyml Welcome to the theremin. They can indeed sound ghostly, but at the same time, if played well, can be very beautiful. Have a look at my other videos while you're here. :)
