Using the valves halfway down can produce some interesting sounds, and can help you play with a more vocal-like quality. Not a technique often used in classical music, but it's a great technique to know. Learn how here. More details available in "All About Trumpet."
Good demonstration. Rex Stewart cornet player with the great Duke Ellington band was a master of half valve technique.
