F sharp
B. Since there is no black key on the piano between the white C and B keys there is no such thing as a B# or a Cb. Therefore one half step below C would be B.
B (B natural).
C natural
a flat lowers a not a half step
The answer is C. Since B is one half step up from B flat, and C is one half step up from B, and two halves make a whole :)

No, a sharp and B flat are not the same. A sharp raises a note by a half step, while B flat lowers a note by a half step.

No, a sharp and B flat are not the same in music theory. A sharp raises a note by a half step, while B flat lowers a note by a half step.
The answer is C. Since B is one half step up from B flat, and C is one half step up from B, and two halves make a whole :)
B sharp if it is one and a half step up, but if just half then it is A sharp. -BJ
a tone in the step between a note and another note that are not sharps or flats. ie. A to B is a tone but B to C is a semi tone/ half step
B flat. I picture it on the piano, one key is one semi-tone or half a tone. Two of these makes one whole tone, or one whole step. One half step down from C would be the note B, another half step would then go to B flat. That is one whole step.
To determine if a note is sharp or flat, you look at the symbol next to the note on the sheet music. A sharp symbol () means the note is raised by a half step, while a flat symbol (b) means the note is lowered by a half step.
There are two half-steps in the key of b: D to E flat and A to B flat.
