28. The major scale of C is used as a model for all the other major scales. Therefore,
    to always obtain a distance of a whole tone or semitone, a sharp or flat may have
    to be added. For example, in the major scale of D, we will find F# and C# so that
    it respects the model. (inferior tetrachord + tone + superior tetrachord).

The Order of Sharps and Flats and their Placement on the Staff

29. Sharps

F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, B#

(Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle)

Placement on the staff:

The sharps follow the pattern of:

UP DOWN UP DOWN DOWN UP DOWN

When a sharp sign is attached to a line note, the sharp is centred on the line as in

the example above. When a sharp sign is to be placed on a space, the sharp is

centred in the space as in the example above.
