Where to get free printable trumpet music?
You most likely will not find much popular music for your instrument for free on the web because of copyright laws. Music under copyright cannot be copied without the owner's permission. Music is protected under copyright until the composer has been dead for 100 years... after the composer has been dead for 100 years, the music is then considered to be in the public domain, and can then be used for free. That's why you can usually find folk or traditional music, like Christmas carols or church hymns, for free. The one catch with public domain music, is that if someone makes an arrangement of a public domain piece of music, their arrangement is then considered as being under copyright, which means it's also protected under copyright for 100 years. Having said all that, there are some good inexpensive arrangements that can be found with a little digging. One site to get started on, is http://www.windsorbrass.com/sheetmusic where they have a few free things, as well as some inexpensive collections of sheet music. All their arrangements can be downloaded over the internet and printed on your computer printer.
