Fingering is highly individual and must adapt to your personal interpretation of the piece. On the Theremin, there aren‘t so many common rules as for the violin or the cello. Either you have a good teacher who guides you with hints or you’ll have to find your own way through the music, minimizing the need for (potentially dangerous) position shifts, avoiding to play high notes with outstretched fingers (will sound screechy), all with respect to the intended phrasing. Then, after many years of hard work (as Clara Rockmore said) you will figure it out.

Grillo is a nice guy.  Encouraging and inspirational. Good basic instruction.

Yeah, I’m sorry, I don’t understand how forum boards work. I thought if I deleted my original post it would delete the whole thread. Since I posted it over two years ago my technique has changed dramatically. Awkward moments!
