What is a "sharp"?
A sharp is a musical symbol that raises the pitch of a note by one half step, or one semitone. It is represented by the symbol "♯", which looks like a hashtag or pound sign. For example, if a note is C, placing a sharp in front of it changes it to C♯, which is slightly higher in pitch. Sharps are used to modify notes in music to achieve desired tonal effects and to fit within specific musical keys and scales.
