A double sharp is a way to raise a note one whole step. On the piano, this is done by playing the note two keys above the natural note.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To double sharp a note - all you do is move up from one white key to the next, AS LONG as there is a black key in between the two white keys (e.g. F and G). If you try to double sharp a note with no black key directly to the right, you'll have to skip over that white key and play the black key to the right of the "skipped" white key (e.g. E and F).

The same procedure is done when double flatting a natural note.
