    I remember in school my band director had the whole band sing warm ups with a tuner, it made us more in tune and I picked it up again recently with a slight change to it and I’ve seen how much can change the fullness of my sound

       That's a really smart idea... the voice is our most natural instrument and a great way to internalize pitch. "Tone" is the root word in "intonation" - so the two are most definitely connected!

    Do the lotus position, and play slowly the trumpet 

    Never push, think about the 7 shakras from the botom to the head (sky)

    There are all of them similars to a sound box

    One other exercice can be to think, play or sing the note little bit upper, it can make you feel how to use the 3 sound box of your head and especialy for make a resonnance with the up of your head

    Whistling can help you to positioning your tongue,
