| Along with toilet paper tube I'd try just blowing air into the horn without buzzing. Then gradually bring your lips together and play a note, with the same relaxation you had blowing without buzzing. Think "ah" when you play, like when the doctor says stick your tongue out and say ahh. It doesn't take effort to play the trumpet, it only takes air.
