B-A-G-F-E-D-C.
Scale after scale after scale.
Who wants to play scales?
Who wants to practice?
Not this little girl. Never.
Just the minimum,
enough to get by.
Why play scales?
Because they're building blocks
because they make the rest easier.
Because when you sit down
on that bench fifty years later,
when you haven't practiced for years
the fingers know the routine.
When you need release, when times are tough
having practiced brings it back
makes it so you can play
so you can connect
when connection comes hard.
