This symbol doesn’t raise or lower the pitch instead, it returns the previously altered note to its original or natural pitch within the same measure.
There is one more accidental which you might find when playing music, and it is called (♮) – the natural symbol. By the way, any sharps # or flats ♭ are also called “ accidentals” in the music world because they are notes produced outside of the recently applied key signature. To be clear, any sharps or flats are played with the same finger as normal, just moving up or down the fingerboard a half step in either direction: half-step lower for flats (♭) or half-step higher for sharps #. The (♭) flat symbol, is similar but the opposite: it lowers the pitch by a half step, requiring you to move your finger in the opposite direction. The fingerboard chart shows many instances of two musical letters being placed on the same space. For an explanation of shifting, visit Shifting & Positions.
If you are not yet familiar with the (♯) symbol, it means that the pitch of the note is raised a half step higher, and when you play this note you will move your finger a half step higher on the fingerboard. These notes require the violinist to 'shift' the position of their hand to a higher position on the keyboard in order to play these notes. The first finger placed on the A string will produce note B, the second finger- note C or C# ( C sharp), the third – note D, and the last finger, the pinkie – note E. Here is a violin fingering chart for the A string and a photo of the left hand with fingers placed on the fingerboard. Let’s go to the A string and find out what notes we can play in the 1st position.
