 career as soloist\, orchestral principal and chamber musician\, and has ea
 rned a reputation as an inspiring and insightful pedagogue. His career inc
 ludes experience as Principal Viola of SSO\, tertiary level string teachin
 g\, creating viola publications including a viola scale book.  Helen Tucke
 y worked with him in recent years as he was the Diploma Level Consultant f
 or the most recent AMEB viola syllabus. His latest book is “Shift Work. 
 A new shifting method for viola”.Roger says: “Shifting is such a funda
 mental part of string playing technique\; it enables us to navigate the fi
 ngerboard with ease but is also an integral part of our expressive vocabul
 ary. Many players struggle to shift reliably under pressure – when a pla
 yer leaves the concert stage saying “I didn’t play in tune” it could
  often be expressed more accurately as “I didn’t shift well”.My comp
 rehensive book of shifting exercises provides a guide not only to shifting
 \, but to all facets of left-hand technique\, and is a perfect companion t
 o my scale method Scale Up! It is a structured system with foolproof exerc
 ises that cover all the different types of shift\, both single- and double
 -stopped\, to help build real resilience and reliability. As a result\, I 
 hope that violists will develop a fearlessness and freedom in their playin
 g that will enable them to broaden their expressive and interpretive range
 .Influential viola blogger Travis Maril says: “Roger Benedict’s “Shi
 ft Work” is a fantastic pedagogical resource that belongs on the stand o
 f any violist looking to improve their left hand\, and a great companion t
 o his scale book\, “Scale Up.” Intermediate to professional players wi
 ll find helpful exercises to increase their confidence\, comfort and ease 
 navigating the fingerboard\, clear and concise instructions on the mechani
 cs of each kind of shift\, and intuitive exercises to develop fluency in t
 hem. Players seeking to improve their double stop shifting will find this 
 book particularly helpful. IMHO\, regular practice of the exercises in “
 Shift Work” will lead players to faster improvements than time spent on 
 that old shifting warhorse\, Ševčík Op. 8: this was certainly the case 
 for me!”Full review here: https://www.travis-maril.com/blog/shift-work-r
