I believe many, if not all, good method books suggest that the student memorize scales. I did a search and found several good posts on "how" to memorize, but I didn't run across any that explained "why" it is good to commit scales to memory. I know it can't hurt, but does it really help that much?
I have practiced the easier scales (C, F, G, D, Bb, etc.) enough now that although I really didn't try to commit to memory, I can play from memory if I go slowly enough, but I wonder how important it is, especially for the harder scales, to commit to memory. Why would it not be sufficient to just practice from written scales, and then if practiced enough, it might (or might not) be commited to memory?
I would appreciate your comments on this, as I've pondered this since beginning clarinet study almost 3 years ago.
