As a theremin instructor, I've observed a need for a real-time method of indicating the notes one plays on a theremin. I've come to discover a product which is not only good for voice students, but those who play instruments like theremins, or other instruments which do not have fixed tones.

Sing And See is the product which satisfies that need, and I feel this would be an excellent tool for any theremin student to add to their musical tool box. I was amazed at how the software can detect even the slightest change in pitch, and display exactly the note I was playing on the screen.

Theremin instructors, and indeed music instructors of all kinds would do well to use Sing And See in their courses.

You can download a free demo, and purchase the product by clicking on the image to the right.

"THEREMIN LESSONS" is a comprehensive instructional DVD which will feature nearly two hours of actual instruction to provide theremin students with the skills needed to accurately play the theremin. The lessons will be designed to take students right from introductory level techniques, on up to more advanced level playing skills.

THIS IS NOT INSTANT DOWNLOAD! At the moment, I can't afford to go through file share/download sites like CD Baby, ect, and software needed to run instant downloads on-site costs too much for php / mysql, ect.

Thank you for your patronage, and patience in this matter.

As of 1 June 2010, I will be providing theremin lessons in person at my studio for $80 per month or $20 per half hour lesson. Instructions provided for minors WILL be performed WITH PARENT(s) PRESENT during ALL lessons (applies to skype lessons as well). I prefer to instruct students who have prior experience on other instruments, and or are participating with school bands, orchestras, ect. as this greatly helps the student to better understand the learning process of the theremin.

No minor students under the age of 14 will be instructed regardless. This is because the theremin is an extremely difficult instrument to play well, and requires a serious learning attitude, and intense concentration on the part of the student.

Please contact me at least one week in advance of lesson to allow for scheduling.

At the first lesson, I can have a theremin set up if the student does not allready have one.

Lessons are to be paid for in advance.

A missed, scheduled lesson will not be refunded. However, it can be re-scheduled.

I recommend scheduling only one lesson be scheduled for the first time student for evaluation and decision making purposes on the part of the student / (parent if student is minor).

The best time for minor students to take theremin lessons is during breaks, and summer so as not to interfere with studies. (suggestion)

Please email me at thomasgrillo1701@comcast.net to arrange lessons.
