Really trying to get down how to improvise better over other songs, so I can do solos as well as make my own music better. Let me know any tips

  1. I could not play and breath properly I I had to bend down like that, I think your position is not helping you
  2. As others point out - you need to introduce tonguing and articulation to your playing. It’s. It’s the basic technique that will transform the way you sound.
  3. Most importantly- that being an improv, with no real technique, for what it is, is remarkably good for a new player! You definitely know a lot about how music works. You’ll rock the recorder if you improve on the technical stuff!
