The Western scale is only seven notes. Ever heard of an octave? The
Eastern (pentatonic) scale has five notes.
If notes are notes only because I've been "conditioned" for them, why
do the same notes show up in music all over the world? Probably has
something to do with the limitations of the human voice and the human
ear. Whatever the explanation, the bushman and Mozart incorporate the
same 12 fundamental harmonics in their music.
If by notes you mean the precise fundamental frequency, then you are
incorrect. You might read up on other systems around the world. They are
fascinating.
