Music is made of rhythm, melody, and harmony, but also by musicians. We master these elements, as well as our instruments, through scales. We don't practice scales to learn the notes; those are important bu they come quickly. Practicing a scale, in an effective way, meas practicing in time (using a metronome), focusing on using good technique, and training our ears to recognize the sound and tonality of it. Scales are the fundamentals of music. An athlete trains his body through running, weight lifting, and isolating specific parts of his sport (like batting practice in baseball). We must do certain exercises in music too.
