Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
play the notes in the music, every time you come to a C or an F play it as a C# and an F#, unless it has a natural sign next to it, that would be an accidental!.

Unless!.!.!.you somehow mean a "double sharp", which I doubt, but just in case a double sharp raises a note two half steps, a G becomes, or sounds, "like an A", but it still a G!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there's a saying to remember the order of sharps and flats!.!.!. but i ca'nt remember it now, i havne't been in band since my freshmen year!. but just play what's marked in it as sharps, and the rest regualr, unless it's put on there to do otherwise!. like if it's a g sharp in the signiture, all the g's are sharp, unless they have a neutral sign in front of them, in which case they are normal for that bar!.

an easy way to remember the order of sharps Fat Cats Go Down Alleys Eating Birds!. The order of sharps is F,C,G,D,A,E,B!. Just play whatever sharp or flat is specified in the key signature until it marks it as a natural or flat!. also the order of flats is rememberer as BEAD GCF!. Good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

every time one of those notes comes up (you can tell by which line or space the sharps are on in the key signature) you play them as sharps, unless they have a natural sign!. then they'd just be the regular note!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't know much about flutes, but in my book and guitar picking two sharps means the piece is either in the key of D major or in B minor!.

The sharps are C# and F# on the staff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Simply play the sharps that are marked in the key signature unless otherwise marked as naturals!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
