We have two scales, one with 5 notes, the other with 7 notes. Try playing the five numbered notes first, then all seven notes on the virtual xylophone.
The Western scale has seven basic notes and five auxiliary notes. Compare the
pitches of these seven basic notes on the piano to the
pitches of our xylophone.
