Theremin lessons

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

I just got my first theremin and I'm trying to find someone to teach me how to play it. No luck on craigslist yet; I myspace messaged the Lothairs to see if they could help but haven't heard back.

If there happens to be a good theremin player here who can at least get me started, hit me up. Likewise if you know of a place/person who can help out.

I'm flattered.

The first thing I would do is buy a copy of "How to Play the Theremin with Peter Pringle", from Peter Pringle (http://www.peterpringle.com). I would say it's the definitive guide to learning to play it.

If you then still want a live instructor, one of the Lothars, Jon Bernhardt, is on the Somerville Arts Council (http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/aboutus/index.html). Perhaps you could reach him through them. I have no idea if he gives lessons, but he is quite good with it.

I don't give lessons, I am not any good with it, because I don't practice.

I just stumbled across your Etherwave review on Amazon. Neat!
