Bugle playing is quite difficult but this is how you do it: you have to vibrate your lips together (it might sting) while your mouth is on the mouth piece. If it is hard too to understand, this might need to be answered again.

Bugles have no valves, and as such can only play in one key. To duplicate the effect on a Trombone, pick one slide position and leave it there. Note: most bugles play in the key of G, which translates to 4th position.

The bugle is actually a really cool instrument, very closely related to the Trumpet. There are no valves on the bugle to change the length of the tubing, though...so there are only select notes that the bugle can produce. Thankfully there are composers out there who have used these notes to compose tunes like "Taps" and "Reveilee". The player's embouchure changes the pitch, so if the players lips are tighter the pitch gets higher (or the tone lowers if the lips become relaxed). Hope this helps!

If you hold down the first and third valves it pretty much imitates a bugle noise.

A bugle is a brass instrument and is played by buzzing into the mouthpiece like blowing raspberries and using cold or hot air and changing embouchure to make it low or high pitched

What is the difference between a bugle and a coronet?

A bugle (usually) doesn't have valves, while a cornet almost always does. This means a cornet can play notes that are not possible on the bugle, but the instruments are similar enough that someone who can play a cornet can also play a bugle (or just mimic one on a cornet by not using the valves).

That would be a bugle. Bugles actually only play about four notes; all bugle calls are based on them.

What valve combinations on a trumpet would be the same key as the bugle?

If the bugle is in the normal key of B-flat, then the notes played by the bugle correspond to the open notes of the trumpet - no valves pressed down at all. If the bugle is in a different key than the trumpet, you will need to transpose the bugle notes into the key of the trumpet to find which notes to play on the trumpet. After you have done the transposition, it should be the case that the same valve combination can be used for all the bugle notes in that key.
