A Foundation to Flawless Intonation by Alicia Previn
THE AUTHOR
Alicia Previn was born in California, daughter of the legendary multiple Oscar
and Grammy winning conductor, composer and pianist Andre Previn. Her
second home was London, England where she studied music and violin at the
Royal Academy of Music. As a studio musician she recorded dozens of records
on Capitol, Virgin, Polydor just to name a few...
UNIQUE FEATURES
The Previn Technique serves, as supplemental material to provide the solid
foundation every violinist needs to play in tune skillfully and freely. The Previn
Technique is simple and easy to master. The result is precise playing, flawless
intonation and unparalleled confidence, regardless which violin method you are
currently studying from and regardless of musical genre.
The tools provided will also reverse the typical pitfalls caused by years of
developed bad habits.
AUDIENCE AT WHICH THIS BOOK WILL BE AIMED
Beginners, intermediate and advanced violinists at any levels and in all musical
genres.
Once the player has grasped the concept, all he/she needs is to check The
Previn Technique before each practice or performance.
THE COMPETITION
The Previn Technique is in its own category. It does not compete against any
current instructional material. On the contrary it supplements most instructional
material on the
I was born into a family of pianists and singers but after a year I chose the violin. I have taught beginners that have a passion and desire to play and i find it is a gift to teach them.
i can share my vast experience from when I was a student getting through the bumps, all the way to touring around the world with technical gear when you need stamina and improvisational skills. I have played violin in many non-traditional genres. Always love the adventure of doing it and showing others how its done!
I am asked if I teach after a performance or by parents wanting their child to play

If they are an absolute beginner I show them the parts of the violin and bow, how to hold, how to begin to draw across the strings to make a sound. Bowing is the most important aspect to become familiar with before attempting fingering new notes. Get comfortable playing the open strings freely learning what the notes look like on paper and the value of whole notes, half notes sluring two or more notes together etc.
If they can play I ask them to play what they know and enjoy playing while i listen for intonation, tone, bowing and finger placement.
Then I decide the next steps to build confidence and skill
All types young old beginners intermediate players who want help with improvisation
Violin is one of the hardest instruments to play. Find a teacher who loves music, performing, sharing the gift and beauty and is patient understanding and knows how to navigate the difficulties that will arise from playing this kind of instrument
When I play my Through the Decades show I review music from 1940’s to 1990’s and show audiences that the violin/viola can play all types of music not only country or classical
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
How much time they can consistently devote to practicing their lessons and technique

I have always wanted to play violin. I was in 5th grade when I chose this instrument to study, but I was not able to continue with my lessons because my mother could not afford the instrument rental. I cried so very hard about this. My husband said I should take up the violin. He bought me one for my birthday a few years ago. I love the beautiful sound of the violin. It stirs my soul. Someday, I hope to inspire others with a beautiful sound. My time is very precious, so I want to study with someone that really knows how to teach and knows music.

My standard is $45 per lesson per week. Beginners to intermediate need half hour (usually not more as long as they practice during the rest of the week) and i allow for one "make-up" lesson per month if cancellations arise. The rule is there must be 24 or more hours advance notice.
