Educational Explorations

This is a simple yet, fun piano tutorial for you and your little ones. It'll be fun to explore the pentatonic scale which is essential to Chinese music. That means you use a five note scale. One would use only the black keys on the piano to compose a song. Try composing your own songs using only the black keys when you get a chance to hear this scale for yourself!
