A
the note is an A This question is not clear; assuming 'half a step' means a semitone then the answer is G# aka Ab.
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.
Take a look at any keyboard. Each key is one half step away from the next. So if you were on an F#, a black key, and you moved up to the next white key, a G, you have gone one half step.
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

The lowest (thickest) string on the viola is the C string. When played without any fingers down, it is a C. One half step up is C#, another half-step up is D, then D#, then E, then F, F#, and G. This G is the exact same G as the open G string, the next string up. Each notes goes up by a half step until you reach D, which is the next open string, and then finally A, which is the highest string.

An interval is the distance between two pitches. These intervals are measured in half-steps and whole steps. For example, a half-step is like C to Db. A whole step would be C to D. A major scale is made up of these steps as so: C MAJOR Whole step, Whole step, Half step, Whole step, Whole step, Whole step, Half step. C to D, D to E, E to F, F to G, G to A, A to B, B to C WWHWWWH You may have noticed that from E to F and from B to C it was a half step just as if it were from C to Db. This is because these pitches are simply a half step away from each other.
The formula used to construct any major scale is 2 whole steps, 1 half step, 3 whole steps, and 1 half step. To find a C Major Scale, begin on note C and use the formula. One whole step from C leads to D. Another whole step from D leads to E. Then, move up one half step to F. One whole step from F is G. From G, move another whole step to A. The last whole step leads to B. Take one last half step to C. The notes of the C Major Scale in order are C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
A half step above G. G sharp and A flat are one in the same.
B sharp if it is one and a half step up, but if just half then it is A sharp. -BJ
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.
G is half a note higher than F#. The full scale is C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C
