I haven't read all of this thread but I think that one rather good reason for knowing and practising scales would be so that we, as teachers could name degrees of the scale correctly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Hmmmm. Not entirely sure a teacher should need to practise scales to be able to do this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Indeed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I suppose that we all get mental blocks at the end of a busy week though. I certainly do, but I tend to consult a book rather than post here where my pupils may read it.

It could have been me writing this.

I have enjoyed reading this thread. Thanks to the more humorous contributors for the giggles.

Phew, thank you for that. I was beginning to think that the request to go and play in someone else's sandpit might have to be taken seriously (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif).

I was going to send a reply by pm, however your inbox is full.
No it isn't full - I put you on "message ban" after the rude and personal comment you made about me on another forum.

More unsubtle jibes, I see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It has been an interesting thread though, for someone who is on the fence about scales!

Does this mean that in another four posts we'll reach reason #101?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Curiouser and curiouser.
I've only mentioned you on another forum once. It wasn't a particularly rude comment, was a response to a question, referred to facts which you would know anyway, and was not out on an open discussion, but in a private one.
It's okay, I'd wanted to be polite and reply to your post discreetly, but can as easily do so here:
QUOTE
Perhaps I just don't understand why you feel the need to try and sound superior to people who do like scales whenever the subject crops up in this thread or others.

Perhaps, just perhaps, I was mistaken in having exactly the same perception in the opposite direction then - namely that the pro-scales lobby think themselves so very superior to the inadequate musicians like myself who have never managed to get on with them.
My initial responses in that thread had been merely with humour in mind, but I admit that the ensuing run of posts got my goat for just that reason. I will now do the sensible thing and block posts which annoy me, as I have long since done for snhs.

We obviously have different ideas of what constitutes "rude". I, for instance, think it's rude to use an emoticon of a pile of **** when referring to posts by somebody else, but clearly you don't.

At least you've now tacitly admitted that your later posts weren't actually a desire to help others "see a different way" as you tried to make out earlier - they were intended to be a wind-up, which is what I suspected.

Why do you go in pro-scales threads if they "get your goat"? You've made a snide comment in one of the other current scales threads, and you couldn't even keep out of the I Love Scales Club (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) You don't *have* to go in pro-scales threads if they wind you up, any more than you have to go in the humorous threads started by "the usual suspects". You seem to be irrestistibly drawn to threads which wind you up! Me, I'd rather have fun in the tavern! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A likely story - I bet you're sat there with several bags of popcorn and ice-cream for the interval (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
