I sharp symbol next to a note makes the note

Answer 1

In music notation, a sharp symbol (♯) placed next to a note raises the pitch of that note by one half step (or semitone). For example, if you have a C note and add a sharp symbol, it becomes C♯, which is a half step higher than C. Similarly, if you have an F note with a sharp symbol, it becomes F♯, raising it by a half step to F-sharp. This concept applies to all notes in Western music notation.
