This is a great topic. My piano teacher has always encouraged me to practice either scales or arpeggios everyday although I don't always follow this advice. It's sort of like flossing your teeth. We know it's good for us, but may overlook sometimes. Since I have more practice time on Saturdays, made it a point to practice both scales and arpeggios this morning .
