Above are the treble clef notes you will need to know for the trumpet. Note that accidentals are NOT included on this chart. For example, the lowest note you can play on the trumpet is actually F#. Therefore you would need to add a # sign to the first note on the chart in order to play the note on the trumpet.
*Every note in music can be given a flat sign (b) which will lower the note a half step or a sharp sign (#) that will raise the note a half step. What is a half step you ask? Refer to the chromatic scale fingering chart: http://trumpetabc.weebly.com/fingering-chart.html. If you would like to raise a note a half step (#), move one measure to the right. If lowering a note a half step (b), move one measure (backwards) to the left.
Below: Watch this excellent tutorial on how the treble clef notes are laid out. Note that because the video is from England the word "stave" replaces the word "staff". Also, the most common phrase in the United States for the line notes is Every Good Boy Does Fine or Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, not Every Good Boy Deserves Football. Either way you remember it is fine as long as you memorize what the note names are and where they are placed in relationship to the staff.
