Brass players can alter notes in two main ways. One is to press down a valve combination(move the slide on a Trombone), the second is to change the embouchure. There are seven different valve combination(with a three valved instrument, the same things apply for the first three valves of a Euphonium and double horn, both of which have four valves). In order from Highest pitch to lowest pitch, they are open, 2nd valve, 1st valve, 1st and 2nd valve, 2nd and 3rd valve, 1st and 3rd valve, and 1st 2nd and 3rd valve. Then to reach other notes you tighten or loosen your your embouchure, it takes practice to figure out how to change pitch this way; however, both ways are required to be able to play any brass instrument. As you learn a brass instrument you should have someone listen to you to see if you are in the correct partial (your embouchure is correct).

How do valves and slides affect the pitch on brass instruments?
Brass instruments produce sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument alter the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. The farther the air has to travel in the instrument the lower the pitch of the sound is, whereas the less distance the air has to travel the higher the pitch the instrument will produce.

How do brass players use harmonic series?
The harmonic series is which notes a brass player can play without using any valves. The notes are based on the major chord of the key the instrument is in. It's not all notes that are part of that chord. The lowest note is the key the instrument is in. The next is an octave up. The next is the top note of the chord, then the base note again, then the full chord is accesible. After that, the notes get closer and closer together.
