Here’s a quick post with some exercises for playing scales using the 7th interval rather than note by note.
Remember to play each section ascending and descending. These are the exercises I do so other players’ fingerings may vary. I’ve stuck to an A root for each of the 7 modes. Transpose accordingly and as required.

I love your lessons! I’m just learning all about shell Voicings so this too is a great thing for me so thank you!
Hi Annette. Thanks so much for the comment and I’m glad you’ve found some useful information on the site. I always remind people that I’m not a teacher, just someone making notes about their own investigations into the instrument, so double-check the content with other sources. Good luck with your playing!
