I suppose I'm not an 'advanced musician', but I've been playing piano for 22 years and have never practiced a scale in my life. I think it's a detestable, anti-creative task and heavily rooted in the rigid, mechanistic classical tradition.
I still know and remember all of the Western "scales" by improvising music based on the notes contained within them. A scale is just a collection of notes. They really, really don't need to be played in one particular order over and over.
