Scale up!

Scale up!, a brand new viola scale method by respected British-Australian violist and pedagogue, Roger Benedict. Generally, viola players have to use transcriptions of violin scale methods; this one has been conceived from the outset specifically for the viola. A novel feature of this method is that scales and arpeggios are set clearly within their harmonic context, helping to develop a more conscious and informed approach to intonation, and resulting in increased confidence and consistency in the playing. The book includes a detailed guide on how to practise the scales, with shifting exercises, advice on how to use drone notes and chord sequences to give harmonic context, and an explanation of tuning temperaments. This clear yet concise method will make an invaluable addition to every violist's daily practice routine.
