A Note Block is a block that plays a single note when struck by the player or powered by Redstone. Note blocks can be connected by circuits to form music.
Note blocks will play when next to a powered block, which allows for more compact music circuitry.

Uses
Note blocks play a musical note when hit or when powered by redstone. Redstone current only causes the note to play once, even if it is a continuous current. A note block must have at least one block of air above it to play a sound. Notes can be heard up to 48 blocks away.
Note blocks will play when next to a powered block. Each time a note block plays a note, a note particle will fly out of the top, with the color depending on the pitch (but not the instrument).
Right clicking increases the note pitch up a half step, with a total of two full octaves being available to play. The range of notes span from F#3 to F#5. After reaching the highest note, right clicking again resets it back to F#3, as does breaking the block and picking it back up.
Tuning Fork
Alternatively, you can create a Tuning Fork. A tuning fork is carries a specific pitch, and right-clicking on a note block will set the block to the pitch of the tuning fork. A freshly-made tuning fork carries F#. When put into a crafting grid, a tuning fork will gain a half-tone, going through two octaves (F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F), after which it will drop back to the bottom F#. A Tuning Fork can thus carry one of a total of 24 distinct pitches.
When a non-note block is right-clicked with the Tuning Fork in hand, it will ring a note of the fork's pitch.
Instruments
The instrument played depends on the block underneath the note block:
Block Type | Instrument |
Wood-based blocks (including another note block) | Bass Guitar |
Sand / Gravel / Soul Sand | Snare Drum |
Glass / Glass Panes / Glowstone | Clicks / Sticks |
Stone-based blocks (e.g. ores) / Obsidian / Netherrack / Bricks | Bass Drum |
Dirt and all other blocks including Air | Piano / Harp |
