Musicopia, Educational Adventures in Music

Imagine standing in front of a harmless looking box. Then, using only hand movements in the empty air, music begins to fill the room. This astonishing method of creating music is just as magical as it was in 1919 when inventor Leon Theremin unveiled the world’s first electronic musical instrument – played without being touched. Magical Music begins with a single question: “How many people here believe in things that are invisible?” and we’re off and running with the basic science, music, and fun to be had with the theremin. As a bonus, time will be reserved for students to try the theremin for themselves.
