What's your goal with that exercise though ? Are you trying to have a clear idea of what notes are in each scale so you can use them to improvise more confidently, or is it more to practice your range on the instrument ?

I'm not a horn player, but if it's the former, I'd spend some time on each scale separately : if you start on C major, first try to recite the notes in your head, with the alterations, and see if you're spot on or if you're unsure of what's in the scale. Then I would sing it slowly, thinking of each note as I sing it (not thinking about just "E" if there's really an "Eb" in that scale for instance).

Then I'd try to record a simple chord progression, maybe a vamp or even some sort of drone bass note, and start manipulating the scale until I felt comfortable with it. Using only the notes from that scale at first, possibly adding some chromatic/outside notes later on. Trying to make music with it is really important I think, just running through scale probably isn't very helpful, at least it never worked for me.

You can run through all the scales if you like, but you can start with the most useful ones in jazz in general, meaning mostly "flat" keys (F, Bb, Eb, Ab, sometimes Db and Gb but not even that often), and then some of the "sharp" keys, C, G, D, maybe A and E but I mostly say that because I'm a guitar player.

If not, you can prioritize what scales youre working on as you encounter new tunes you'd like to be able to play/play over.
