AETHERPHON, global theremin family

We're getting down to the short hairs here in Richmond Hill, GA. I'm doing a demo for multiple classes this coming Friday at Carver Elementary. Every 4th grade kid at this school will be exposed to the theremin (4 big classes total of 90 kids each=360 young souls ruined).

I plan a short video clip (2 minutes), short demo of my playing (1 minute), Q and A (5 minutes), Sing along with piano (maybe 20 minutes), and some hands on time with the Etherwave. I'll have both of my theremins there, taking lessons from others on this forum who have regaled us with horror stories of technical failures, snafus, etc.

The idea with the above format is to keep it in bite sized chunks and to keep it fun. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Philip,

Twenty minutes of sing-along seems like a long block for this age group.  Perhaps one of the teachers or the principal could be invited up to try out the theremin for a few minutes between songs.  Give the kids a good laugh.
