Is there another way to trill from D to E besides moving from D to E really fast.....it doesnt sound very good like that.

I assume you mean third octave D and E.. Try fingering D as usual, and trill with the ring finger of your left hand. Also try putting down the index finger of your left hand in addition, this may sound better in some situations.

Finger D2 properly, left-hand first finger up through the whole process, and trill your right-hand ring finger (no D# key).
