What are facts about the pentatonic scale?

Answer 1

Pentatonic music is based off the pentatonic scale, which unlike your everyday 7-pitch octave, it contains 5 pitches. Pentatonic music is very common worldwide in traditional and Folk Music. Hope that helped :) If you need anything more specific, shoot.

Answer 2

Pentatonic scales are those scales that only include 5 notes (you can easily replicate this by finding a piano and then playing only the black notes). Music based on this is usually incorrectly associated with music of Asian cultures.

Answer 3

The pentatonic scale is used, along with any number of other scales, to provide some variety in music. It may seem odd that variety is added by using a scale from which 'tones' have been eliminated. Pentatonic scales can give a melody a strong folk feeling. The melody to Amazing Grace is an example. Some versions may add some notes that are not in the pentatonic scale. Pentatonic scales do not have to be used slavishly, and an accompaniment to a pentatonic melody can include any note.

There are songs that contain extended passages of pentatonic melody, and it may be surprising to learn what they are; I just can't think of any of them at the moment. If I do I will come back and add them.
