What does a natural sign (A natural sign has two vertical lines connected by two horizontal lines. The top horizontal begins two-fifths of the way down the left vertical line and travels right about one-third the length of the vertical line at a slight upward angle to connect with the top of the right vertical. The bottom horizontal begins about two-fifths of the way down the right vertical line and travels left about one-third the length of the vertical at a slight downward angle to connect with the bottom of the left vertical.) do to a note?

A natural sign cancels the previous or stated accidental.
A natural sign cancels the previous or stated accidental on a note. It does not raise or lower the note by any half or whole step.
A natural sign, as described in your question, cancels any previous or stated accidental on a note. An accidental is a musical symbol that alters the pitch of a note. The natural sign specifically cancels the effect of a sharp (raises the note by one half step) or flat (lowers the note by one half step) that may have been applied to the note previously.
To apply a natural sign to a note, follow these steps:
1. Identify the note that needs to be altered.
2. Determine if there is any previous accidental applied to the note. Accidental symbols include sharps (♯) or flats (♭).
3. If there is a sharp or flat symbol, place the natural sign (♮) in front of the note to cancel the effect of the accidental.
4. If there is no previous accidental, the natural sign is not required, as the note is already considered natural.
By following these steps, you can correctly use a natural sign to cancel the effect of a sharp or flat and return the note to its natural pitch.
