No, it actually raises the tone by a half step. A flat lowers it.
In standard musical notation the sharp sign (#) denoted a note raised by a half step. There are also half sharps and 3/4-sharps for raising a note by 1/4 tone or 3/4 tone respectively.
It is a half step higher and a half step lower.
C-sharp. The leading tone is one half-step below the tonic.
It means the tone is 1/2 step above the note given. A full step would be to go from A to B, therefore a half step would be A sharp.
Not its half a tone lower - On a treble scale the A key (note) will be in increasing tone; Ab(A flat), A (A natural) A# (A Sharp)

It is a half step higher and a half step lower.
C-sharp. The leading tone is one half-step below the tonic.
The leading tone in a key is one half-step below the tonic. In the key of A major, the leading tone is G-sharp.
It means the tone is 1/2 step above the note given. A full step would be to go from A to B, therefore a half step would be A sharp.
It's one half-step, or one semitone.
Not its half a tone lower - On a treble scale the A key (note) will be in increasing tone; Ab(A flat), A (A natural) A# (A Sharp)
The leading tone in a scale is one half-step below the tonic. In the key of C# major, the leading tone is B#.
The leading tone in any key is one half-step below the tonic. In the key of D-sharp, the leading tone is C-double-sharp (it can't be spelled as D-natural, because the letter D is already used for the tonic).
E natural and F natural are a half step away. With accidental marks like # and b, they tell you to either move up or down a half step. There's another two, but I can't show them on this answer thing. But those are the only ones that make you move up or down a whole step.So, Fb would be moving down a half step. Move down a half step and you've got E natural.
tone cluster apex!!
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
