To make a note flat, you take it down a half step: e turns into e flat and e flat turns into D natural. Natural just means the plain old note with nothing done to it. Therefore, to take a G flat up a half step, it turns into a G natural.
G sharp
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.
F sharp and G flat are the same. F sharp is a half octave up from a F and a G flat is a half octave lower than a G.
A half step above G. G sharp and A flat are one in the same.
Every scale has a progression! For now, lets speak of a major scale, using the c major scale as an example. STEP, STEP, HALF-STEP, STEP, STEP, STEP, HALF-STEP c to d(step, d to e (step), e-f (1/2 step). f-g. g-a. a-b (3 steps), b-c (half step) of course that's just going up backwards to go down. lets try this with three flats in the scale (Key of e-flat) e-flat to f, f-g, g to a-flat, a-flat to b-flat, b-flat to c, c to d, d to e-flat I hope you can see that the pattern remains constant. Now I am not smart to give you a minor scale, a major or minor scale diminished scale, a blues scale and the like. but there are patterns and when you memorize the pattern for each scale applying it is simple.

A
Concert Gb would be Ab for trumpets. Remember: Transposing from concert pitches to trumpet pitches means moving up two half-steps. Gb + 1 half step = G G + 1 half step = Ab
Root, whole-step, half-step, whole, whole, half, whole, whole. On a piano, if you start on A you would bo straight up the white notes. if you start on C, you would go C, D, E-flat, F, G, A-flat, B-flat, C
A sharp means the note is slightly higher. They say it's a "half step" higher because a half step is the smallest amount of movement you can have in Western music.A flat is the same in the opposite direction: it's a half step lower.For example, "G flat" would be lower than "G", and "G" would be lower than "G sharp"BONUS: the sharp sign can be typed "#", and flat sign can be typed with a lowercase "b". The above sentence would read: "Gb" would be lower than "G", and "G" would be lower than "G#"
the note is an A This question is not clear; assuming 'half a step' means a semitone then the answer is G# aka Ab.
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.
The note above F can be labelled as F sharp or G flat.
