Simple answer: Buzz your lips into the mouthpiece fast or slow for high or low notes.
Real answer: Technically, the brass instrument itself is not used to make sound, but to amplify the harmonics created through lip buzzing. When a person buzzes their lips together, they can tighten or loosen their lips to create higher and lower pitches.
When combined with the brass mouthpiece, there are 4 factors that can create the higher and lower pitches. Those factors are the pucker of the lips (how tight or loose they are), the push of air going out (faster air for higher notes), the placement of the tongue within the mouth (the heightened position from saying "e" created a faster wind current for higher notes and the openness of "o" creates a slower one for lower notes), and the pressure of the mouthpiece against the mouth (more pressure = higher notes). Pressure should be used sparingly since it's possible to hurt your mouth with too much pressure.
When the mouthpiece and lip buzzing are placed on the body of the instrument, the length of the tubing (changed with the Trombone slide, or valves on other brass) along with the curve of the bell and shape/size of the bore will cause the desired harmonics in the lips to be emphasized at varied percents to the exclusion of the other harmonics.
You begin by buzzing your lips. Breath from the diaphragm (sorry guys don't know if I spelled that right) and there we go!
Sound is produced by placing the lips on the mouthpiece and blowing while vibrating the lips. This may be called making a "raspberry".
Forcing air through your lips vibrates a column of air inside the instrument.
By air passing through the instrument and vibrating at a certain pitch. The keys affect the pitch by changing the air flow.

Which device do brass players use in their instrument to dampen the sound?
Brass players use mutes to dampen the sound of their instruments.
What are the main groups of instruments?
Percussion - example - Drums: these instruments are struck with something such as the hand, or a stick or hammer to make the sound. Woodwind- Example - Clarinet: these instruments have a reed to vibrate to make the sound. Brass- example - Trumpet: these instruments make sound by the vibrating lips of the player. String - example - violin : these instruments have strings that rubbed with a bow or plucked to make a sound There are also electronic instruments such as the theremin and one might consider the human voice to be an instrument.
Do you blow into any brass instruments?
No not really, you buzz into the mouthpiece to create a sound. Blowing into a brass instrument like you would for a woodwind instrument that has a reed will not produce any sound.

How do brass players make their sound?
Brass players make sound by buzzing their lips into a mouthpiece attached to the instrument. The vibration of the lips creates sound waves that resonate through the instrument, producing a rich tone. By changing the tension and speed of their buzzing lips, players can produce different pitches and dynamics.
