Conjunct/Stepwise motion. The initial study allows you to keep a fixed hand position, expanding/contracting your fingers to cover the range of notes required (diatonic scalar motion in a major key with a range of perfect fifth). Play legato and then also practice articulating with your volume hand. The goal of these initial exercises is to help you learn to play in tune (for about a minute in this case). Don't worry about using the volume hand at first. Concentrate on staying in tune as best you can. Don't use too much vibrato as it will be counterproductive (first just try and hold pitches - vibrato will cover up some of your inaccuracies - fine for later when you can play better in tune). Study 1b is an expanded version of 1a. Study #2 is also a simple conjunct study, with a key change. All three belong as a unit of study.

This is a simple diatonic study centering on conjunct motion with jumps up to a 5th (primarily 3rds and 5ths).The keyboard accompaniment for the most part doubles the melody to help the player hit pitches.

This is a longer piece with a string accompaniment that I will post to play with. It centers on a combination of stepwise and various triadic motions.

An Adaptation of the Largo from Thiel's Concerto for two Trumpets (go to Thiel page for the original). Took too many licenses with the piece to put it under Thiel and it turns out that the melody is an excellent practice piece for the Theremin focusing on thirds (triads), and seventh and octave jumps.
