Well, Trumpet is in Bb and Trombone is in C, so transposing is the same as it would be from Clarinet to flute (which makes sense to me then).

First, the key changes....so if you were in Bb for trumpet, you would be in C for trombone...you take away 2 flats/add 2 sharps if going from trumpet to trombone.

Once the key is taken care of, then you can transpose by just taking the trumpet note and putting it down a whole step.

Then, you transpose it into bass clef, which is pretty self-explanatory, but you just take that note and put it down an octave or so, into the trombone's range.

Actually, part of that answer is incorrect. If the trumpet music is in B-flat, Trombone music (a concert pitch instrument) will be one step below that in A-flat.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
