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

    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 ❤❤❤

    If any of you are wondering how a theremin works, here’s the gist of it.
    There are two components of a theremin. The pitch control and the volume control. The basic idea of the pitch control is controlling frequency of your signal. What you have is that you have a one variable oscillator. The variable oscillator is a consequence of capacitance change. The impedance of a capacitor directly depends on the capacitance and the frequency, thus if you can control the capacitance, you can control the frequency. What you can do is you can manipulate the capacitance in many ways. It’s common to use a conducting pole (like you see here), however, you can use any other conducting surface. If you remember Gauss’ Law, you can directly calculate the capacitance from either charge or voltage, which you can calculate through gauss’ law, it really depends on the geometry of whatever thing you’re using. More often than not, the capacitance through your conductor will depend on the proximity of your hand from the metal, so it’s how you kinda control the frequency. Then, you also insert another signal. You make an oscillator that goes at a fixed frequency. You then output both things into a mixer, and what a mixer will do is generate the beat frequency, this will be what you actually hear. To clean up this signal, you will put a band pass filter, so you have a low pass filter and a high pass filter in series with a cutoff frequency within the human audible range (20-20000 hz)
    The volume control is a little complicated, but it’s the same idea. You have a variable oscillator in series with a band pass filter, and you use an envelope detectors to control the amplitude of the signal going through your theremin.
    An engineer could tell you a lot better way to construct a theremin, but this is just giving an idea of how it works

    I just bought a Theremini after watching this video, as well as a few other videos online. Now I know what it takes to be as precise in your movements as this!! You practically have to stop breathing just so you're completely still. Even with the range set far and the octave range kept low, it's still extremely difficult to maintain a correct pitch for more than a second or so. So all this to say, outstanding playing! You make it look effortless when, in fact, it's extremely difficult to play with such precision. You've done a truly marvelous rendition of the piece, as well. I would say it's inspiring, but really I just want to send back the damn thing cause I'll need to reorganize my entire life's priorities and enter deep, monk-like meditation for the next 10 years just to get the movements down! I think I'll stick to organ. :)

      I don't know if that is entirely true. I'm pretty sure you also have to never drink coffee, or any caffeinated beverage again. Unless you like a lot of vibrato/tremolo. Also, you need to be at peace with the world and your own existence. You need to mention this in your instructional videos. :)

      treblemaker, the adjustable pitch quantization on the 'mini makes things a lot easier. Have you played around with that feature? I've goofed around with my friend's 'mini a bit, and with the correction set up pretty high I sounded okay. Not great, but not atrocious. Lol.

      Area 51 is for testing top secret weapons and nothing more. If we genuinely had a facility we kept aliens in no one would know it existed.

      Capacitive coupling.
      ELI5 version: your hands can cause electrical changes in certain sensitive electronics. This is picked up by the two wands by either hand.
      More detail: Your hands have enough electrical capacitance to affect the capacitive component of a sensitive resonant circuit, which changes its resonant frequency. If you do this with a pickup oscillator and compare it with a beat-frequency oscillator, you can get an audible tone. This is also really similar to how a metal detector works.
