The Pentatonic Scale
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)
Remember this pattern.
