Bugler997 is an unknown quantity at this point
Well, let's say I'm playing my C-trumpet, and reading a part for a D-trumpet.

I transpose the key signature, in this case adding two sharps (yes, I think of it like that). Then I pretend each note is one "staff-step" up. For example, if I see a B, I "pretend" it's on the space above the third line from the bottom line, the "C-line."

Unfortunately, accidentals throw me off WAY much when I use this method. Should I learn a better method, or just stick with that one?
