1. What does a natural sign () do to a note? (1 point)

A natural sign () cancels the previous or stated accidental on a note. An accidental is a symbol placed before a note that modifies its pitch. For example, if a note is previously marked as sharp () or flat (), the natural sign will cancel that sharp or flat, restoring the note to its original pitch. So, if a note is marked as or and you see a natural sign before it, you would play the note without the previous sharp or flat, in its natural form.
