What are some tips on how to read music? (trumpet)?

Adrian M asked:


I've been playing trumpet for 2 years now, and i'm pretty good, it's just that I need help with the fingerings/reading music. I usually write down the notes/fingerings down on the paper, but I wanna read it with out writing it down. It takes me a while to read the note and decide what the fingering is. I already know all the fingerings for all the notes (including flats and sharps) but it just takes me a while to read it off the page. (I know, I keep repeating myself.)

tl;dr, Help me identify which note/fingering it is on the staff faster.
