      I'm so fascinated by your talent. I've only seen this done a few times and they were not close to the way you play. Now I want to give it a try. I've seen how much they cost but I don't care. If I could only get a small amount of the talent you have, it would be a definite possibility. You've definitely got my attention. Thank you for sharing this video. I now have a definite new interest 😁. You are in a class all by yourself. Thank you for making this evening awesome!

    People who said the Theramin could never be played accurately or consistantly enough for it to ever be considered a serious instrument are so clearly proven wrong here by the maestro. Now THAT is dedication.

      you can see that her shoulder and whole upper arm are very still, so developing muscle memory is probably a lot easier than a lot of people would think (not to say that this isn't very impressive, it is). experienced double bass and cello players can jump quite far on the fingerboard and still nail notes perfectly, so saying the theremin would be impossible to play sounds kinda stupid

    Beautiful! My name is Jay, I am 60 years old, and I bought my first theremin about three months ago. It is a Moog Etherwave Plus, and on the recommendation from your videos, I also installed the ESPE 01 module . I also bought your book, The Art of Playing the Theremin, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn to play this wonderful instrument. I have watched all of your videos, and I find them not only instructional but inspirational . Thank you for posting them.

    I only recently started seriously listening to theramin music... outside of creepy horrorcore stuff (which the theramin really is amazing at), and it has been really striking me how the theramin really is listening to a computer sing, plain and simple. It puts me in mind of what it would be like to hear an android opera.
    If it isn't clear, I mean that positively. It does have an eerie surreal quality to it, but that is largely down to how used to hearing human voices we are. It reminds me of really well done Hatsune Miku songs, where the rigid tonal shifts actually give the music a different quality than you typically get with human singers.
    It puts me in a writing sci-fi mood.

      I’ve bought a Theremin and it’s also an incredibly experience to approach to it. Despite the difficulties to reach the right pitch for each note it’s like a mindfulness exercise, you need to control and take awareness about your entire body (even a bad breath control creates micro-movement on your arm and hand, and you can hear it from the theremin), you need to stay in the flow to control it. Absolutely recommended ❤❤❤

    Amazingly beautiful, haunting, great job! I actually have a theramin, and even though I understand how they work, I still can't "play" it! So others here can understand how she is manipulating it, here goes. Her left hand, right side on the screen, controls volume. The closer she moves it to that horizontal metal "loop" thing, the lower the volume, and the higher above it her hand is, the louder it is. While at the same time, her right hand works with that vertical metal rod controlling pitch. The closer to it her hand gets, the higher pitch the note is. So far away, low note, and closer to it, higher note. Believe me, it takes years and years of practice to do what she does here, huge props to her!
