I entered this from a different angle, but I believe I have gone through the same training(if you will). While in college, my private teacher had me work on some exercises call the Caruso Long Setting Exercises. Just as you have done, I put the mouthpiece on and left it there throughout each exercise. Where a breath was necessary, I took nose breaths. I was much less aware of what was taking place than you have apparently been, however it made a number of both subtle and dramatic improvements in my playing. My range and flexibility went through the roof.

In short, I believe the direction you are going will lead you to noticeable improvement in your playing.
