There are books on circular breathing which are useful.
Embouchure is everything. As Rapaire says, buzzing on scales is useful.
Learn a harmonic instrument such as piano or guitar to study how to run arpeggiated chords on the horn.
Listen to Wynton Marsalis, Bix Beidebeck, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Lee Morgan, Bunk Johnson, Joe (King) Oliver, Max Kaminsky, Freddie Keppard, Muggsy Spanier, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Maynard Ferguson, Clark Terry, Kenny Dorham, and don't miss Arturo Sandoval
