That's dope, what piece did she play or help with?

[@awesomly47]

I couldn't find a specific song she was credited for but she is listed among Musicians for her work with the theremin. Could've been for ambient noise or sound effects. It's funny though cause the first video I saw of her was The Ecstacy of Gold cover.

[@swaguilar_]

[@MagdalenaTheremin]

Yeah! Theremin is a wonderful instrument wich can be played on many different ways. That so beautiful with it. You can challange yourself to learn the Carolines technic but you may also just follow your ear to play along - I saw many many thereminist who are playing in many many different ways.

[@lorettacollinsklobah9095]

So useful. Thank you. I bought a theremin one year ago and haven't tried it. I think I have been a little afraid after so many years of wanting one that I won't be able to achieve music with it. But I'm a trumpet player, and one only has the embouchure, the lungs, and three keys to work with on that instrument. Maybe I can do it. I know it took lots of years of practice for you to become so innovative and skilled. But this video has given me something to start with. And I understand how to tune a theremin now.

[@naveoffousisbonus]

I thank life knowing you, I celebrate your talent and your kind disposition to teach us. A hug from Colombia

[@sfilkins2009]

...and now for the chromatic notes in between! lol Just purchased a B3 theremin and will receive it by the middle of January 2019. Eager to learn and this video helped a lot. It is really what I needed to learn first.

[@if13785]

How is learning the B3 going?

[@sfilkins2009]

Well I have to tell you it is not quite what I expected. I really need the theremin that you have, but I am sure that will be costly. This little thing ... all I can do is move my fingers of one hand to make the sounds....and right up to the box and antennae, so I was a bit disappointed. I still have it all in my wish list to accomplish.

So in sense its almost like playing the trombon, that you find a position, and then you try to do it over and over again.... I mean Trombon is in sense having the same problem as theremin. There is no real stop at any tone and you has to kinda feel or use your eyes to know and ears to hear what they are.

[@ProfFLopez]

Hello miss, thanks for this explanatory video for the theremin, I would like to ask you if in your opinion a left-handed person may be able to play it.Thank you.

[@carolinaeyckvideos]

Thanks for your message! Yes, many thereminists are left-handed: Pamelia Stickney, Dorit Chrysler and many others.

[@matthewrosenthal4688]

Neat! I bet it is hard to incorporate accidentals that sound in tune. It would require intermediate hand positions.

[@leahbaer11]

What about sharps and flats though? How would you play C# for example? Can you play more than one note at once?

[@greymagician1]

How you play other scales like minor, chromatic? I suppose you can also get microtonal intervals and play maqam, indian scales also.

Thank you- that’s very useful.

I just received a small, rectangular theremin for Christmas. It has an antennae, but not the other component being utilized with the left hand. I can't seem to find any videos or information on this type of minimal theremin. Is it possible anyone here can guide me in the right direction? And thank you Carolina for sharing your talent and wisdom

[@siegvash]

That's a single antennae theremin. A popular one is the Zep Theremin, there are some videos of people playing on one of those. It's basically a budget Theremin without the volume control (the horizontal antennae) so it's good for playing long bow notes (like violins), sustained notes, etc. You can modify it for adding the missing volume control but if you're not a fan of electronic, you'll have a bad time with it. Have fun!

Is the finger and thumb locked like that as an anchor and reference point or is it because that finger would generate false and bad notes because it is shorter than the middle finger and would interfere with the field?

[@gervass]

absurd techniques! congrats

[@musthavemoxie]

I have a partially fused right wrist. Since it doesn’t bend fully, would I not be able to play?

[@carolinaeyckvideos]

The magic of the theremin is that there is no fixed technique or specific movement that you have to do in order to play; these are simply suggestions to make it easier. You can still adapt the technique to your own possibilities. I know some theremin players who have injuries and are still able to play very well, so please don’t let this discourage you :)
