What is the symbol that lowers a pitch half step?

a flat... It looks similar to a lower-case b except the bottom is somewhat pointed. Flats and sharps (#) are usually found in the key signature, but sometimes one is placed immediately before the note that is to be played a half step lower (flat) or higher (sharp).


How do you write a natural sharp in music?

For half step sharps, the most commonly used and the one you are probably referring to that raises a pitch a half tone up, you use a # symbol. If you are writing on manuscript (staff paper), you write the # symbol before the note. If you are writing it on regular notebook paper, you write it after the note name, i.e. C#. For whole step sharps, which raises a pitch a whole tone up, you use a x symbol. The position of the symbol is the same as half step sharps. For quarter step sharps, which are unconventional in western music but used in oriental music, look it up on wikipedia. The position of the symbol is the same as half step sharps also.
