CarlT,

As an ex-band director, I think memorizing scales is very important. Sort of like knowing your alphabet before you start reading and writing. Music is based, for the most part, on scales. If you are familiar and versatile with the key that a piece or section of music is written in, it will help you with sight reading right off the bat. Also, it will help you as you work through the piece and really hone the performance. I also find that being fluent with scale studies (dealing with intervals and different rhythms) is a great aid in sharpening your sight reading skills, as well as your all-around performance and reading skills. Every great house is built on a solid foundation, and scales are the foundation of music. Just my two cents.

Jennifer
