Assuming you mean "transposing" yes, normally. It is common in symphony orchestras to have Trumpet music written for trumpets in different keys, so the player has to transpose. For instance, the player may be playing on a C trumpet, but the music may be written for a D trumpet, in which case, the player transposes up one step.

What is a Concert F on trumpet?

A concert F on a trumpet is the G note. Since a trumpet is pitched in Bb, trumpet players will always play one note above the concert pitch. Along with that trumpet players will always play in a different key from the concert pitch. Trumpet players will add two sharps to the concert pitch. i.e. If the concert pitch is Eb, 3 flats, then trumpet players will play in the key of F, 1 flat. trumpetman52
