Thats what I strive for, being surprisingly ok.

I study singing, but I can find my way with the piano. Although, would like to learn to play the violin and the flute.

Pretty good, I have been having some problems with my pedal though. I need an analogue pedal. The Digitech one I have right now is not sensitive enough, and the sound never kicks in until I am about 3 quarters of an inch above the horizontal volume antenna, when the sound should be immediate. Apparently I am progressing very quickly according to some youtube guy "Thomas Grillo" or something for a beginner. It takes a little bit to get used to but it is so much fun to play and I guess for some people it is very intuitive. Playing the thing itself requires quite a bit of concentration and requires you almost to hum in your head as you play, but it is quite satisfying when you jump a few octaves back and forth perfectly, or the days where you can simply have things in your head and play right them on your first try.

that's cool, Thomas G seems to be 'the man' for modern theremin stuff. my friend studied his clips to learn how to play his. wasn't aware of the need for analog over digital effects for the instrument, then again we were all rather intoxicated the time we were fooling around with his theremin (sonic pelvic thrusts for the win!)

the humming along method is something i've read about playing any instrument, if you can hum it you should be able to play it. although it seems to be a bit more necessary for instruments where the pitch is entirely controlled by the player.
