Each one-to-one coaching session is tailored to your level, your instrument and your goals. Together, we build a personalised learning path to help you develop precise, expressive and confident theremin playing, in line with your own interests and ambitions.

 

Depending on your goals, sessions may cover:

 

Posture & Playing Space

Find a stable and comfortable playing position, adjust your instrument correctly and develop an optimal playing space.

 

Tuning & Calibration

Understand zero beat, set up your instrument correctly and develop a reliable calibration method.

 

Playing Technique

Develop precise gestures, master fingering techniques (Carolina Eyck method), and work on volume control, articulation and phrasing.

 

Pitch & Listening

Refine your ear, identify and correct pitch inaccuracies, and develop muscle memory.

 

Equipment & Setup

Choose the right theremin for your needs, optimise your setup and explore the possibilities offered by effects and synthesizers.

Not sure which model is right for you? Sessions are also an opportunity to compare different theremins and find the instrument that best suits your playing style.

Models available to try: Theremini • Etherwave • Claravox • Open.Theremin • Big Briar Series 91 • EPro

 

Practice Method

Build an effective practice routine, avoid developing bad habits and make steady progress between sessions.

The coaching focuses exclusively on mastering the theremin and its unique playing techniques. Sessions are an ideal complement to an existing musical background, but no previous musical training is required. Music theory and general musicianship are not part of the programme.
