Interesting. As a player of the Flesch scale system I always categorized these with arpeggios rather than scales, but an important thing to practice in any case. Something I found to be helpful, and that I instruct my students to listen for, is to be comfortable with the feeling of the tension between each note. Since the entire point of the diminished 7 chord is to lead us to a more consonant chord, there is constant tension from note to note that pulls on the ear and can make us play out of tune. It is important to practice these because it gives us a chance to engage with that tonal tension, WITHOUT giving into it. Great lesson! I greatly enjoy your content!

Thank you so much for that insight and thanks for watching!
The colors grey, green, and gold refer to: the Tonic diminished, Subdominant diminished, and Dominant diminished scales.
Thank you for your clarification.
