Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The first you need is the Arbans Complete trumpet method. To control volume try playing long tones as soft as you can, try to maintain a smooth constant sound. Another very important thing is to be patient and not try to strain to get louder or higher notes you will only hurt yourself and your embouchure. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!
