Running through things because you are familiar with them, breeds routine and this is the seed of boredom.

Never just run through a study because you happen to be familiar with it, but use it to see what you can get from it on this new day which has been granted you.

By the time I got to the Paris Conservatoire I was very good at the scales and arpeggios.

You cannot prepare enough for anything.

Scales played in the correct musical way are very exciting and rewarding.

Everyone who plays the flute should learn singing.

You can sightread better if you know your scales and arpeggios.
