World Science Festival 2009: Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale

hmmm i see

Does the song he starts to sing at 1:18 have a name? It's sooo...heavenly

Of course they did, that's the whole point, they weren't coached but they all knew it anyway, for whatever reason we all know that scale instinctively. I don't play any musical instruments but I joined in with the audience and was able to sing along easily.

No...it's one of the first scales in history. There are no half steps

i'm guessing everyone in the audience knew the scale.

hehehe!!! this is awesome

The man is a musical genius!!

This is an amazing example of how you can interect with music. This is really good, I hope all music teachers can do this kind of great kinethetic stuff.

i could watch him doing this for hours!! it's so beautiful

Vraiment excellent !
