When you sharpen a note, you are making it a semitone higher.
And when you flatten a note, you are making it a semitone lower.
A natural isn't sharp OR flattened, it is just the note, A B C D E F or G.

∙ 12y agoA natural sign lowers the pitch of a sharped note one half-step. (C sharp becomes C natural, for example.) If the sharp is in the key signature, the natural is only in effect until the end of the measure in which it occurs. If the note is tied into the next measure, the natural stays in effect until the end of the tied note. The natural sign effects only the note to which it is applied. It does not effect notes an octave above or below.
In cases where this may be confusing, it is appropriate to cancel the natural sign with a sharp sign in parentheses.
