Trumpet is one of my main instruments, and I call tell you this: teaching yourself trumpet is almost impossible. For one, your mouth isn't used to being used to control a pitch. With any brass instrument, you can bend the pitch so much so that you can make any note with just your mouth. You have three valves, but at the very least, 21 notes. My suggestion, GET SOME FORMAL LESSONS! You have to devolpe the muscles around your mouth, and only somebody standing there beside you can make sure you're doing it right. It's not like bass guitar!
