The Ethnic Clarinet

I'm sure there has been a bunch of these questions here, but this is my first time on the ethnic board!
I was wondering about how to get into playing Klezmer. I have mastered what I call the "nasty noises," which are translated very well into klezmer-ish sounds. I have good control into squeek tones and bends and such, but when it comes to improv, I am so lost. Also, since I am not Jewish, my knowledge of klezmer and traditional Hebrew songs is lacking. :(
I have downloaded some Klezmer and I am trying to mimic some of the melodies, but I feel like I am just being a mockingbird redoing what is already done. But is this how one starts? If I were to find a teacher, could this kind of thing be taught?
Oh, and I've been playing this all on Eb and Bb clarinets. I am otherwise classically trained on all clarinets.
Thanks!
