I hate them.  Someday I will sit down and invent a solid, useful exercise/drill regimen that actually sounds musical. |
He's got those too. That is just the first basic dexterity exercise. Do you do them with a metronome? If not, you're wasting some/much of your time.
The key is to do them every day. I have a 30 minute routine that I do - some dexterity, some rhythmic, some scale/mode. Then I should be doing my "sight read a page a day" along with some ear training but I'm not as disciplined as I'd like.
