work on the mouthpiece until you can play "mary had a little lamb" until then, don't even touch the trumpet. Consider the trumpet as a mouthpiece amplifier, which is really all it is.

 

after that, you're on your own =p I haven't started playing trumpet since 6th grade, so I don't really remember what it's like... I would suggest finding a method book or two or five, and going through that.

get some books and stuff that show you how to set the right embechure too. And maybe a mirror, that helps, so you can see what you look like and then go to the mouthpiece. It would suck to play with your lips set wrong.
