TC hopes to engage everybody; whether they are professional or not, classical players, experimental or others. Even "Makers of" theremins such as electronic engineer-musicians and commercial entities, and finally "Promoters of" theremin music and their practitioners namely internet radios, magazines and more.
Any assistance in helping TC maintain the database will be appreciated. A special thanks to Buddy Craigg.
