When you see a sharp symbol in front of the note, it means the note is a little bit higher. It is a "half step" higher. For example the white key in the piano "C" is a natural note, but if you see a sharp then you have to play the black key, in the middle of C and D. The note will be C sharp.

107 - Stem Up
Sometimes you see the stem of the note up or down, the rule is simple, if the note head is on the third line of the staff or higher, then the stem goes down. And below the third line, from the second space of the staff and below, the stem will be pointing upwards. The idea is to make the stem fit inside the staff as much as possible.
