What is a note on semitone that is higher than g?
One semi-tone higher than G is G sharp (G#)
How does an A flat look like in flute sheet music?
A-flat is one note lower than A-natural, and A-sharp is one note higher than A-natural. A-sharp is the same note as B-flat. On the flute, the fingering for A-sharp/ B-flat is left thumb, left pointer finger, right pointer finger, and right pinky down. The fingering for A-flat is left thumb, all left fingers, and right pinky down. As far as sharps and flats go, they generally mean the same thing for any note; think of flat as meaning "one note lower than" what the letter is, and think of sharp as meaning "one note higher than" what the letter is. For example, C-flat is one note lower than C-natural, and C-sharp is one note higher than C-natural.
Can a string instrument play a note lower than the note produced from its lowest string?
No.
What note is a semitone higher than B?
It would be a sharp/flat. Like A would be A#/Bb
What does a sharp sign indicate when used in representing a pitch?
In modern notation, the sharp sign (#) indicates that the note it precedes is sounded one half-tone (semitone) higher than without the sharp sign. In cases where the sign is applied to a note which is sharped in the key signature, it only indicates that the note should be played one semitone higher than if there had been no sharp in the key signature. To make an already-sharped note sharper by another semitone, the doublesharp (which looks like an ornate x made of angled diamonds) is used. To make an already-sharped or double-sharped note sound it's natural pitch, a natural sign (which looks like a square with lines rising from the upper-left and falling from the lower-right corners) is used. Also, it is good to know that, in modern notation, accidentals (sharp, flat or natural signs applied in-line with music rather than at the beginning of each line or the beginning of the piece) continue to affect the note to the end of the measure. So |#C D E C| D E C E |is played #C D E #C D E C E. In original-notation, preceding the 19th Century (up to the middle-end of the Baroque period), a sharp could be used to cancel a flat (and vice versa), and the sign we now call natural was used (esp. Germany) for the "hard B", i.e., what we now call B-natural. An accidental applied to a note often only pertained to that note in that octave, which is why a key signature for G major (in which F is sharped all the time, unless modified by an accidental) the key signature has two sharps for a treble-clef staff, one at the top line and one at the bottom space. This is only useful information if you are a) a hopeless trivia buff or b) actually trying to read original manuscripts or prints.
What interval is A to G sharp?
G# is one semitone lower than A.
What is the function of sharp and flats?
Sharps are the note one semitone higher than a given natural note, for example, D-sharp is one semitone higherthan D.Flats are the note one semitone lower than a given natural note, so D-flat is one semitone lower than D.Natural signs get rid of a previous sharp or flat in the same bar, or raises or lowers a sharp or flat already included in the key signature - e.g. the F-sharp in G major.Sharps and flats can be modified further too - resulting in a double sharp or double flat - which means that any double sharp or double flat will be a whole tone higher or lower than a given natural note, for example, D double-sharp would be the same key as E and D double-flat would be the same as C. Again a natural sign would get rid of the double flat or sharp.Sometimes natural keys have to be named as either sharp or flat, e.g. in C-sharp minor the seventh degree is B, but we have to raise B to B-sharp to create a C-sharp harmonic minor scale, which uses a raised seventh. Now we could call the B-sharp 'C' but that would not be correct as we need to use all letter names in a diatonic scale, and technically the C is functioning as a raised B in the key or C-sharp minor.
How does a double flat affect the pitch of the note it precedes?
A double flat is a tone lower than the natural note.
What is a note on semitone that is higher than g?
One semi-tone higher than G is G sharp (G#)
What does natural sign mean in music?
being a natural at music means you are instinctively very good at playing your instrument or composing or whatever it means you were born gifted at music, not that you are good because of hard work
What does flat mean in british?
Flat has more than one meaning, it could mean level, without lumps and bumps, such as flat ground, a flat surface or flat feet, it is also a serving platter used in catering or restaurants, and a Flat is what we British call a place to live or an apartment, for example "I live in a Flat above a shop" or "a block of Flats".The word 'flat' is also used when someone is singing a note a bit lower that it should be, in this case we call it a 'flat note'. The term 'flat' however, in music, also means to lower a natural note in most cases by a semitone. For example, we have the note E and the note just below E is called 'E flat', which means it is the lowered form of the original note.

What term describes how a blue note is produced?
In jazz and blues, a blue note (also "worried" note) is a note sung or played at a slightly lower pitch than that of the major scale for expressive purposes. Typically the alteration is a semitone or less, but this varies among performers and genres. Country blues, in particular, features wide variations from the diatonic pitches with emotive blue-notes. Blue notes are often seen as akin to relative pitches found in traditional African work songs. TRUE (apex)
