If I was interested, how would I locate someone who could teach me to play a Theremin?

A Theremin is a musical instrument with electronic tone generation, the pitch and tone volume being controlled by the distance between the player’s hands and two metal rods serving as antennas.
It was featured prominently in the music score for the motion picture, “THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL” (1951)
It is my understanding that there are very few professional Theremin players in the USA.
It was named after Leo Theremin (b. 1896), the Russian who invented it.
