I have waited patiently to poke the two "trollers" of this website in the eye, and now I am able to do so.
For the record, this is a student "beginner" forum. Beginner means beginner!
Next, and I could not phrase it better:
"I do scales in little doses because that's the only way I can keep my mind focused on them. I don't do scales by just "moving my fingers in memorized order" because I cannot do that at all, that's exactly when I start mixing the fingerings. I usually need to mentally recreate the scale from scratch first, then figure out the fingering, no matter how familiar I am supposed to be with the scale already. I know perfectly well how the most common scales go, but after I loose the concentration my fingers do whatever they feel, all consistency is gone. So repeating something several times every practice session is not useful. Considering another post by the same poster I assumed when he talks about regular scales he means a routine set repeated in every practice."
I have in my possession Earl Wild's Memoir wherein he spends a portion of a chapter stating that the way he was able to maintain his enthusiastic interest in the piano, and at the same time develop his technique, was to play transcriptions with all of their different fingerings. As I have said before, he strongly stated (one of the greatest pianistic techniques of both centuries) that playing scales and exercises everyday was a complete waste of time.
Therefore, as observed by Mr. Wild, a composer himself, is that if you have trouble with key signatures with flats, then you just change the flats to sharps. This is why every decent coach I know of recommends that every pianist write chord symbols above their music.
That way, if it is a B# chord, then you write the chord as a C Major chord. This is the way professional accompanists, and seasoned performers do it in their own minds.
