The sharps indicate which notes are sharp. You have to learn how to recognize sharp keys, same as with flat keys.
It means that five notes are sharp in the piece.
The G major scale contains 1 sharp: the note F#. The scale of a piece of music is usually indicated by a key signature, a symbol that flattens or sharpens specific lines or spaces on the staff.
You can tell the difference between a key signature in major or minor based on the number of sharps or flats in the key signature. A major key signature typically has more sharps or fewer flats, while a minor key signature typically has fewer sharps or more flats. Additionally, the key signature in major often corresponds to the major scale, while the key signature in minor often corresponds to the relative minor scale.
A key signature is the number of sharps or flats in a piece of music. For example C Major has no sharps G Major has 1 Sharp F Major has 1 Flat B flat Major has 2 Flats In a piece of music The key signature is put after the Clef (e.g. treble clef) and before the time signature (2/4)In musical notation, a key signature is a series of sharp or flat symbols placed on the staff, designating notes that are to be consistently played one semitone higher or lower than the equivalent natural notes unless otherwise altered with an accidental. Key signatures are generally written immediately after the clef at the beginning of a line of musical notation, although they can appear in other parts of a score, notably after a double bar. Key signatures are generally used in a score to avoid the complication of having sharp or flat symbols on every instance of certain notes. Each major and minor key has an associated key signature that sharpens or flattens the notes which are used in its scale. However, it is not uncommon for a piece to be written with a key signature that does not match its key, for example, in some Baroque pieces,[1] or in transcriptions of traditional modal folk tunes.[2]
At the beginning of the piece, there will be one to seven sharps or flats. This tells you the sharps or flats that will be used unless otherwise noted. If there are no sharps or flats, then there will be no sharps or flats unless otherwise noted.

What is a key signature? A key signature is the number of sharps or flats in a piece of music. For example C Major has no sharps G Major has 1 Sharp F Major has 1 Flat B flat
The sharps and flats before a clef sign is the "key signature" of the music. They tell you which notes in the music are to be played sharp or flat (in other words what "key" the music is in). For any more information feel free to visit my website www howard-evans-music-tuition.co.uk.

The key of C natural.
No. Accidentals (sharps # or flats b) will be indicated in the key signature at the beginning of a piece. Extra accidentals (not in key signature) MUST have their signs before the note. But if it's in the key signature, not required. Also, double sharp (looks like an x) can be used.
The G major scale contains 1 sharp: the note F#. The scale of a piece of music is usually indicated by a key signature, a symbol that flattens or sharpens specific lines or spaces on the staff.
Look at the first few notes of the piece and also which flats/sharps are defined in the beginning of the piece.
After the clef sign, before the time signature.
The time signature comes after treble clef when writing a piece of music.

A major key signature typically has more sharps or fewer flats, while a minor key signature typically has fewer sharps or more flats.
