To train your nose take a deep breath and play 4+ softly. Start with your nose closed (if you can) and hold the note for three seconds... then open your nose by actively trying to blow your nose (with practice you won't need to "force" it)... you'll feel air rush out (shoulders will slump... it will be obvious) and play with your nose open for three seconds... then close it for three seconds... then open it for three seconds... and... you should be out of air now.
