Sharps make the note a semitone higher in pitch whereas flats make it a semitone lower. Hope this helps!
acidentals are sharps or flats that either raise the note up one semitone, or lower it by one semitone. there can also be naturals, wich make the note natural again, so instead of F sharp, if you put the natural sign in, the note would just be F
A bemol is another term for the flat sign in music, ♭, used to lower a note by a semitone.
The 7th note (leading note) is raised by a semitone in a harmonic minor scale.
To lower a note that's already flat, there is such a thing as a double-flat.
It is half a note in pitch
Any note which has the word 'sharp' in it is always a semitone above the given note.
A flat (♭) lowers the pitch of a note by a semitone (half-step). A sharp (#) raises the pitch of a note by a semitone. Naturals cancel out sharps or flats that apply to notes and make them their usual pitch (♮).
