Does anyone have any scale exercises that they can recommend?

 

So far I like to do:

 

1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 (walk in half-steps)

1 3 5 3 1 (walk in 3rds)

1 4 7 8 7 4 1 (walk in 4ths and then hit an octave above tonic)

1 3 5 8 5 3 1 (jumping from 5th to an octave above tonic)

1 3 5 7 8 7 5 3 1 (added the 7th to previous exercise)

1 2 4 6 8 6 4 2 1 (from tonic to 2nd, 4th, 6th, an octave above, and back down)

1 3 1 5 1 7 1 8 7 8 5 8 3 8 1 (jump from tonic to 3rd, 5th, 7th, an octave above tonic and back down)

1 2 1 4 1 6 1 8 6 8 4 8 2 8 1 (jump from tonic to 2nd, 4th, 6th, an octave above tonic and back down)

Maybe "recommend" was the wrong word to use.

I didn't really mean it that way.

 

I was just talking about scale exercises in general.

Not really looking to have anyone diagnose and fix problems by using scales.

 

Thanks for the comment, though.

Here are some vocal exercises I know. Don't know if they count as scales but I hope they can help in some way or another. :)
