Just to clarify - The trill is *always* an upper auxiliary to a principal note. There are no "under" trills. From the romantic period onwards this is usually always done starting on the principal note, and then proceeding to the ornamented note.
In C major:
G-A-G-A etc.
In classical music you really have to know the style. There are occasions, such as at an authentic cadence, or at the trill ending the cadenza (in a concerto) that you will always start on the auxiliary note, and then proceed to the principal. In the above cases, the above note is usally held for a moment. The trill would also end with a turn.
In C Major
EEEEEE-D-E-D-E-D-E-D-C-D-CCCCC
In Baroque, trills are almost invariably from the auxiliary note, given the surrounding melodic motion.
