it's not hard if you are a robot! (precision movement)

maybe you should pretend you're a robot when you do it.

try it!

Maybe you need a whale to go with your theremin.

I can usually get through the Star Spangled Banner and Mary had a little lamb, with a little wobbling. That's as far as I've gotten, though. There's an instructional vid that Moog Music sometimes offers that's supposed to be pretty good.

Hmm looking through their website, I see this:
http://www.moogmusic.com/detail.php?main_product_id=21017
Which I know nothing about, but I suspect must be pretty decent if Moog are marketing it, and this:

...Which one of my Theremin customers at Music 'Splorium said was really useful for him, but which is only VHS, apparently. Blargh.

The VHS video came along with mine, which was nice, Bob's incredibly stiff cue-card delivery notwithstanding (it's kind of charming, honestly.) I'm working on glissing with stops on octaves, and can play a wobbly diatonic scale. Almost. Haven't really tried much in the way of amp envelope control yet, though.
