ednaplate Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Came across this recently. Not sure about the science behind it but maybe the humble pentatonic scale is part of our human psyche. Okay I'm starting to whaffle. [url="http://vimeo.com/5732745"]http://vimeo.com/5732745[/url] Entertaining anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Brilliant Video. Amazing that everyone there sings the same notes, shows that everyone there was automatically using the same scale. Wonder if it'd work in countries that don't use the standard western scale though.

ednaplate Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I don't know. i suppose it's in the public domain and if it's being used for teaching purposes who can object? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman69 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 dont mean to upset things but he gave them the next note (in pentatonic).. so then they take the minor scale. If he'd given it in major Id say theyd have sung that. Just my thoughts on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the point of the video is that the audience knew what note to sing without being told, when he jumped to the third note of the scale. It all sounds pretty pentatonic to me...

thisnameistaken Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 That is cool, and the coolest thing about it is how much the audience enjoyed it. Singing is the ultimate feel-good activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
