Bobby McFerrin uses an unsuspecting audience to demonstrate the inherent understanding of the pentatonic scale. Hats off to you, Carl Orff (and Bobby McFerrin).

Thanks, Jake!

Anyone in the world can understand this because it is so basic. One tone is always referrenced by and with another.

Carl Orff was not the only proponent of pentatony; the fact that the audience was able to SING the tones (rather than plunk them out on xylophones) is a better demonstration of the philosophies of Zoltan Kodaly. But thanks for sharing! Bobby McFerrin is great!
