music symbols using Latex too small...any ideas

Hi, I’m using quick Latex to include some basic music characters (sharps, flats, etc.) in line with text in a book I’m writing. The problem is that these are rendered rather small in relation to the text and also lower than base line. For example to write A# (i.e. A sharp) I have A$/sharp$. I renders the sharp, but it is small and low.
