a flat lowers a not a half step
It lowers the note by one half-step/semitone.
if you are playing a brass instrument you tighten or loosen your ambocure (lips) to come out with a higher or lower note a sharp
It lowers the tone by one half step.
No. On a certain note with both a sharp and flat, (G, for example) they are the same distance from G, but going in diferent directions. G sharp raises the note by one half step while G flat lowers the note by one half step. However, it is possible for a sharp note to mean the same note as a flat note. For example, G sharp is the same note as A flat. This is called being enharmonic.
It is a half step higher and a half step lower.
It lowers the note by one half-step/semitone.
A sharp raises a note by half a step, while a flat lowers a note by half a step on the piano. For example, if a note is played as C♯, it is one half step higher than C; if played as C♭, it is one half step lower than C.

it makes the note a half step higher
To play a flat on the piano, you simply press the key that is one half step lower than the natural key. This lowers the pitch of the note by a semitone.
It is a half step higher and a half step lower.
In music, a flat is a symbol that lowers the pitch of a note by a half step. When a note is marked with a flat symbol, it is played or sung one semitone lower than its natural pitch. This changes the sound of the note to a lower tone.
B sharp if it is one and a half step up, but if just half then it is A sharp. -BJ
B flat. I picture it on the piano, one key is one semi-tone or half a tone. Two of these makes one whole tone, or one whole step. One half step down from C would be the note B, another half step would then go to B flat. That is one whole step.
a flat... It looks similar to a lower-case b except the bottom is somewhat pointed. Flats and sharps (#) are usually found in the key signature, but sometimes one is placed immediately before the note that is to be played a half step lower (flat) or higher (sharp).
