Scales are absolutely essential to know and master in order to become a competent musician. They are the foundation of what everything else is built upon.

However, scales are probably the number one reason people actually STOP playing the piano. They get so caught up practicing them, forget to practice everything else and just get so bored and frustrated with the entire process.

Fortunately, practicing scales doesn't have to be boring! It can actually be quite fun.
