There are as many different methods for playing the trumpet as there are successful trumpet players. The bottom line is does everything you have to play sound good (i.e. would it be acceptable at the professional level), that is all that matters.
With that said some teachers/methods seem to have a much higher success rate than others in producing top players. All of the approachs that I would consider for use are very similar in their method and results.
