Hi Susi (and Killian) Not strictly theremin, but a very close relative, is the Soundbeam, which is a MIDI-compatible spatial-control instrument specifically designed for education and therapy. Have a look at http://www.jaxontonewall.com/ for an example of it in use - there is a fairly comprehensive section on the use of the system and plenty of links to the manufacturer site and other users.
