Question:

Switching to trumpet, advice?

I've been playing clarinet for about 3-4 years and i want to switch to trumpet. I've never had much experience, the only thing i can play is the Bb scale. I plan on practicing over the summer break, any advice?

If you've already got the Bb scale, then you must be a quick learner! Here's fingerings for some other notes:
low Ab: 2&3
low A: 1&2
low Bb: 1
low B: 2
(middle)C-sharp:123
Eb: 2&3
F-sharp: 2
Ab: 2&3
Bb: 1
C-sharp: 1&2
D: 1
Eb: 2
E: open
F: 1
F-sharp: 2
