Scales: What's playing today?

In case I have readers who are interested to know my progress where the practising of scales is concerned, here is an update:

This morning, I practised the E Major and c# minor scales on the double bass. There is still room improvement, yet I am delighted that I seem to have overcome quite a fair bit of my inertia of playing scales. I hope playing scales will help improve my playing somehow.

ah. a new set of scales to practise. keep it up pei yun. yes, it will improve your general playing. it's particularly helpful when you have to play certain bars where there is a cluster of notes, and they are scale-based.

Oh yes Mistipurple, it will help. Furthermore, I also practise playing in intervals of thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths, and octaves when I play scales with my "CD accompaniment". I hope that would help my intonation to improve.
