In a key signature, a sharp or flat symbol on a line or space of the staff indicates that the note represented by that line or space is to be played a semitone higher (sharp) or lower (flat) than it would otherwise be played. This applies through the rest of the piece or until another key signature appears.
The flat symbol lowers the pitch of a note by one semitone. Sharp The sharp symbol raises the pitch of a note by one semitone. Natural A natural cancels a sharp or flat. This sharp or flat may have been indicated as an accidental or defined by the key signature. Double flat A double flat lowers the pitch of a note by two semitones. Double sharp

The sharp symbol is used in key signatures or as an accidental applied to a single note. The staff below has a key signature with three sharps ( A major or its relative minor , F ♯ minor ). The sharp symbol placed on the note indicates that it is an A ♯ instead of an A ♮ .
The most common such need is for the flat and sharp symbols; thanks to Unicode and increased bandwidth on the Internet, the lowercase letter "b" and the pound sign "#" are no longer considered acceptable substitutes. However, not everyone has the proper fonts containing these characters.
