There are many occasions to do so in Europe: Lydia Kavina organizes Theremin lessons for beginners and masterclasses in Oxford/GB about every three or four months, then there is a series of theremin gatherings round the year:
#Korg dt4 tuner how to#
Thus it is very important to meet an experienced theremin teacher from time who will observe your playing and give you hints how to improve your technique. There is a big risk of taking "bad" habits in your playing technique which will from a certain point on prevent you from making further progress. Since theremin teachers are most times not "round the corner", most theremin players are more or less autodidacts. He worked for about 5 years, 4 hours daily, before he gave his first concert.

The Dutch thereminist Thorwald Jorgensen for example was already a professional musician (percussionist) when he decided to play the theremin. This is for sure right if you intend to play the "classic" theremin repertoire at a professional level. Your second question "How long will it approximately take." has a simple answer : It depends.Ĭlara Rockmore, the "grande dame" of the theremin said "it takes many years of study and hard work" and "Before you begin, you should know where you will go". Here is an example setup which I built for one of my students : In order to avoid interference with the pitch and volume field, this tuner should be mounted below the theremin, for example with a clip on the mic stand, so that you can rapidly see where you are. This can be used to connect a visual chromatic tuner (I recommend the Korg DT4) which shows clearly the note (C, C#, D, etc.) and has a sophisticated system of red and green LEDs around to show you clearly the precision, if you are exactly in tune or a little sharp or flat.

That's why I am asked from time to time to install still an additional output on a theremin which gives a shaped and buffered pitch preview signal. But even a pitch preview is useless if you don't have an intro (from the accompaniment) which allows you to find the starting tone. It allows to hear the theremin's pitch in an earpiece while the main audio output is still muted through the left hand/volume loop. For most theremin players a pitch preview is very helpful. Detection Range: A0 (27.50 Hz) to C8 (4186.Those who don't have perfect pitch will almost not be able to hit the first note correctly without any pitch reference.Built-in condenser mic lets you tune acoustic instruments.Calibration range of 410Hz-480Hz can be adjusted to support various concert pitches.A wide detection range of A0-C8 (88 notes).Bright LEDs are used to display three types of tuning modes.

Korg tuners and metronomes purchased from a Korg UK authorised dealer now have a three year warranty. If approximately ten minutes have elapsed with no audio input while powered-on, the DT-4 will automatically turn off to prevent unnecessary battery consumption. In Strobe mode, if approximately thirty seconds have elapsed without any input sound, the rotating red LEDs will go dark. Meter mode: Tune your instrument so that the bright green LED is aligned with the red tuning guide in the centre as on a conventional needle type tuner.The distance between the bright green and dim green LEDs indicate the distance to perfect tuning. The bright green LED will move to the right of centre if the input pitch is sharp, or to the left if it is flat. Mirror mode: When the two green LEDs at the lower left and right coincide, you're perfectly tuned.

When the tuning is correct, the two tuning guides will also light simultaneously. The LEDs will move in a clockwise direction if the pitch of your instrument is sharp, or counter-clockwise if it is flat.
