I'm a flute player. In jazz band, I need to be able to read trumpet music (transpose). However, one of the notes is an F SHARP (accidental). The way I transpose is by going to the next note below and keeping the accidentals with it. So it would become an E SHARP. No such thing. So, what note am I supposed to play?

An E sharp is the same as an F natural, there is a such thing, it is just very uncommon.

well, I'm not sure about flute<->trumpet relationship, but if you are right, E Sharp is the same note as F. F flat would be E. Think piano clavier. B sharp would be C

If the trumpet plays F#, then you should play an E (natural). You will always play a whole step below the trumpet. p.s. there is such a note as E#...
