    The music lesson note discusses accidentals, which are symbols that alter the pitch of notes. It identifies the five types of accidentals - sharp, flat, natural, double sharp, and double flat - and explains what each one does: the sharp raises a note by a semitone, the flat lowers it by a semitone, the natural restores the original pitch, the double sharp raises it by a tone, and the double flat lowers it by a tone.

    MUSIC LESSON NOTE FOR WEEK 1.

    TOPIC: ACCIDENTALS.
    An accidental can be defined as a symbol or sign used to alter (change) the
    pitches, positions and letter-names of notes.
    Accidentals occur when either a sharp, flat or natural sign affects any single
    note or notes within the music. Accidentals are written as symbols (signs).

    TYPES OF ACCIDENTALS
    1. The sharp sign.
    2 .The flat sign.
    3. The natural sign.
    4. The double sharp sign.
    5. The double flat sign.

    1. The Sharp sign (#): The sharp sign placed before a note raises the pitch of a
    note by a semitone.
    2 .The flat sign (b): The flat sign placed before a note lowers or reduces the pitch
    of a note by a semitone.
    3. The natural sign (): The natural sign placed before a note restores the note
    previously sharpened or flattened, to its original pitch (position). It can also be
    used to nullify or neutralize the effects of accidentals on the affected note or
    notes.
    4. The double sharp sign (X): The double sharp sign placed before a note raises
    the pitch (sound) of a note by a tone.

    5. The double flat sign (bb): The double flat sign placed before a note reduces or
    lowers the pitch of a note by a tone.
