Scales and Arpeggios are basic music elements which are also important training for every performing musician. A performer cultivates his/her technique and gains instrumental control by learning major and minor scales, arpeggios, and intervals. Therefore these abilities are the fundamentals which transform an amateur player into a professional musician.
Scales and Arpeggios exercises could be boring with the repeatititive finger movements, but it also could be a fun game of accuracy. Each exercise is a challenging episode if you imagine your instrument as a video game controller. So turn on your metronome and enjoy your Scales and Arpeggios.
