The Pentatonic Scale

The Pentatonic Scale in the Key of C

C to D is one whole step due to the black key in between them. E to G is a whole step and a half step there are 2 keys between them.

The Pentatonic Scale can be thought of as - whole step - whole step - whole step and a half step- whole step - whole step and a half step

Another way to think of the notes is in numbers - the first note C=1 and the second note D=2 and the third note E=3 and the fifth note G=5 so on.

Please have a look at Diatnic Harmony to see how the numbers way is the best in the end.
