Hi, I'm a beginner and own a B3. I've watched a few videos on how to start playing the theremin, but none of them has told me what I want to know: that is, how to practice?
What I'm getting at is that I'm a seasoned musician--I've played sax and all the woodwind and brass instruments for many, many years. Whenever I start a new instrument, I get a fingering chart and start learning from a method book: single notes at first, then scales and simple studies and melodies. I have yet to find a "theremin method" book or guide similar to this style of teaching/learning.
My gut tells me to start learning the theremin by trying to play scales. But since no one seems to teach that way, I fear I may be wasting my time.
What do you all think? I really want to learn to play well and am willing to put in the time and work. But I want to do it right! Can I approach learning the theremin the same way I've learned my wind instruments? Or do I need to do it a different way? And what way is that? Thanks for your help.
