Why do we have to practice scales?
Scales. Yawn. Most students find them boring at first. However, they are important and beneficial for a number of reasons. They increase finger strength, dexterity, speed and control. They keep your fingers fit! So all those impressive piano pieces you dreamed of playing will be a lot easier to play with regular scale practice. If you want to take piano exams, scales are a required part of the syllabus. Scales are also important in learning music theory.

Do I need to learn to read music to play the piano ?
You could learn by ear but I strongly recommend learning to read music. It will be a big help and open up a lot of music avenues. There are methods to make learning to read music easier and once you have learnt it, you´ll never forget it!
