What does a flat do to a pitch?
It lowers the tone by one half step.
By how much does a sharp or flat alter as a note?
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.
What effect do sharps and flats have on a note?

What is the difference between a sharp and a flat on a piano?
A sharp raises a note by a half-step. A flat lowers a note by a half-step. Any one key on the piano - both white and black - can be referred to as a sharp or a flat. For example: C-natural - a white key - can also be called B-sharp or D-double-flat. Or, for another example: G# - a black key - can also be called A-flat. The exact symbol used for a note (i.e. a flat or a sharp) is determined by the key signature and the specific harmonics within the music.
What is the symbol that lowers a pitch half 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).
What note is a down whole step from c?
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.
What does a sharp or flat above or below a note mean?
It is usually written just to the right of the note. A sharp means to raise one half step and flat means to lower one half step.
How many minor seconds are there in a major second?
2. A minor second is a half step, or one note to the next. A major second is a whole step, or one note, skip a note.
