One semi-tone higher than G is G sharp (G#)
Yes, G natural and F natural are a semitone apart. In Western music theory, a semitone is the smallest interval between two pitches, and it occurs between adjacent keys on a piano keyboard. Specifically, moving from F to G (or vice versa) involves passing through F# or G♭, which makes the distance a whole tone rather than a semitone. Thus, G natural and F natural are indeed a whole tone apart.
The symbol that is placed before a note and raises the pitch by one half step is called a sharp (♯). When a sharp is applied to a note, it increases its pitch by one semitone, meaning it is played a half step higher than the natural note. For example, if a C note is sharped, it is played as C♯.
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.
No.
The semitone lower than E is E♭.
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.
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.
The symbol for sharp in music is "" and it indicates that a note should be played one semitone higher than the natural note.
The diminished symbol in music notation indicates that a note should be played one semitone lower than its natural pitch, creating a dissonant and tense sound.
In music notation, a sharp symbol indicates that a note should be played one semitone higher than the natural note.
In piano notation, the symbol "" indicates a sharp, which means to play the note one semitone higher than the natural note.
In music theory, the term "flat" indicates that a note should be played a semitone lower than its natural pitch. This affects the pitch of the note by lowering it slightly, creating a different sound or tone.
G# is one semitone lower than A.
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.
