JordanThe 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.
The pentatonic scale is a musical scale that consists of five notes. It is used in Blues Music and in Sudanese music.

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. It is the spacing and the number of notes that make a scale pentatonic. Incidentally, you can have a pentatonic melody with standard (non-pentatonic) harmonies accompanying it.
