How do you identify pentatonic scales?
Pentatonic scales have only five distinct notes - do, re, mi, so, and la (or the tonic, supertonic, mediant, dominant, and submediant). In written music it can be easily identified by the lack of the fa and ti (subdominant and leading tone). When listening to music, the pentatonic scale has a very distinct sound which can be heard by playing the scale up and down. One way to get a feel for the scale is to play a piece with only the black notes on the piano. This forces the melody into a pentatonic scale.

That is a misconception. Just as you can have a major scale that starts on any of the 12 tones, you can have pentatonic scales starting on any tone as well.
