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

Trsined by Los Angeles' top studio musician Virginia Majewski who played on Star Wars and most of the huge movie soundtracks. She also played regularly with the greatest violinist ever known Jascha Heifitz. Also trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London, England with Joan Rotchford-Davies who trained the Concertmaster of the London Symphony Orchestra.

I have recorded on many well-known band's albums (see my discography on my website) and single tracks all over the world as well as touring and TV Radio. I am a composer and singer/songwriter

About the lesson

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.
