I initially believed this assignment spanned two weeks, prompting me to structure my development process into two distinct phases. At present, I find myself at the conclusion of the initial phase.
My objective was to create a music tool [A theremin] wherein users craft the desired notes through vertical hand movements and play them by employing horizontal motions, simulating the act of plucking strings.

My vision for this project is to provide a visually and physically appealing method for getting familiar with notes and octaves, striking a balance between educational value and the freedom to play with abstract musical concepts.
At the moment I am standing part of the way, and as a result the mechanism works with the mouse and not with hand movements. [😟]
[left - blank canvas] [right - the user added notes]
I aspired to incorporate distinct colors for each finger, enabling users to draw notes by squeezing between the thumb and a specific finger, thus associating the drawn note with the corresponding finger color[Following the previous exercise].
