I used to bring my sax home every day from school.... I had like a two mile walk from the bus stop and had to carry my Yamaha YAS 23 with me, because my parents did not want me to leave it at school. Back then (I started playing in 1989) $1300 was A LOT of money to pay for a student sax, or a saxophone PERIOD, and my parents wanted to make sure there investment was safe.
Anyway, I would be forced to lug this thing home (glad I didn't play tenor), knowing I should practice, I never would. I neglected my scale study, and found that later on that was a HUGE mistake.
Bottom line is, SCALES ARE IMPORTANT! Learn them, ALL, memorize them ALL, and know them by heart!
I mean, if you are going to carry your sax home anyway, you might as well use it.
Trust me.
