Usually by pressing down different combinations of the valves... or... by tightening or loosening your lips and blowing faster or slower. You can also move the slide to the right of the bell in and out (In = higher, out = lower).

When does the pitch actually change?
The amount of airflow, when you press different buttons or change the position of a slide, or how tight your lips are.
What is the fingering for B flat on the trumpet?
The trumpet is a 'transposing instrument'. This means that each note it produces has two pitch names: the "natural" name and the "Concert pitch" name. This comes from the history of the instrument: originally, lip-reed instruments (i.e. wind instruments using a cup mouthpiece where the vibrating part, considered the reed, is the player's lips) were made with their fundamental tone on C in the going concert pitch, and the overtones produced by overblowing were all named accordingly. Eventually, the trumpet and some of the larger lip-reeds were manufactured in families based on Bb and Eb. The player learns, for instance, the open pitches (overtones) as C, G, E, etc, even though they do not sound with those pitches in Concert pitch. For a Bb trumpet, the natural overtones of C, G, and E are Bb, F and D in Concert Pitch. A trumpet player who learns the valve positions as C, G, and E reads transposed music where C is written when the actual concert pitch wanted is Bb. This allows a trumpeter to switch to a different trumpet with a different length tube (or a valve trombone, baritone, euphonium or tuba) where the fundamental pitch is Eb or Bb at a different octave: when the concert pitch tone desired matches the named pitch (i.e., Bb trumpet, A trumpet, Eb euphonium) the player's music will show C and the player will use the same fingering (all open.) So, for a trumpet in Bb to play concert Bb, the player will leave the valves open and play the fundamental pitch or one of its octaves. A trumpet in A will require that the player produce a note a half-tone higher, so they will finger for C#. A player of the high trumpet in Eb will want to finger valves for the natural pitch of G. On the other hand, if the trumpeter is playing a Bb trumpet and is required to play a natural pitch of Bb (which would be Ab in concert pitch), the trumpeter would press down the first valve. Generally speaking, three-valve instruments are arranged so that the first valve causes the pitch of the instrument to drop by one whole tone; the second valve drops the pitch of the instrument by one half tone; the third valve drops the pitch of the instrument by a minor third (a whole tone plus a half tone). These valves are used in combination to fill in the gaps between the overtones. Often, if you have learned this, you can figure out any fingering for any note. For instance, to lower the natural C to Bb, use the first valve (whole tone down). To get A, use the first and second valves together (adding up to a minor third.) To get G#, use the first and third valves (which add to give a pure fourth down.) This means that valve positions on trumpet make more sense going down than going up! say the mouthpiece is here - o o o - and the bell is here then you need the first valve closest to the mouthpiece. you play it with your index finger. :)
What buttons to press for g on the trumpet?
none its open valved
What instrument is easier to learn trumpet or trombone?
Clarinet is easier because you have to blow very hard on the trumpet. If you blow too much on trumpet your lips hurt. Also trumpet has only 3 buttons so it will be very harder to do notes. Actually, that's simply one person's view. The trumpet is not hard to play, nor do you have to "blow very hard" to play it. All instruments are different and each has it's own advantages and disavantages.
How do trumpets make music and sound?
The initial sound is that created by the lips vibrating in teh mouthpiece. The vibrating air is then sent around using lno valves and a combination of valves variouys tibes to change the frequency

What is the purpose of the slide on a trombone?
Both the slide on a Trombone and the valves on a Trumpet are to play all of the different notes. (ie: press the 2 and 3rd valve on a trumpet to play G#). music is sound, sound is compsed of "waves" or the peaks and valleys thesound travels, looks like a wave. The longer the distance between the peak and valley, the lower the note/pitch. the shorter the distance the higher the pitch. This is best seen if you pluck a guitar string. You can see the string vibrate to the sound wave. Shorten the lengthen of the string and you produce a high pitch. The slide and vavles do this in the trumpet and trombone. Pressing the valves re-channels or directs the sound wave produce by the player's lips through shorter or longer tubing/distance. The trombone this is done by moving the slide up or down.
Why does the pitch change when you press the strings on a bass?
Because when you press on a string it shortens the vibrating part of the string, producing a higher tone. Shorter strings produce a faster vibration or frequency.
