Mary,

I think that William has given you the advice that will do the most immediate good. Most people who improvise, started off playing by ear. With a few skills gained (and a few scales learned) the next step is to play along with recordings. This is great experience and bypasses a lot of science that you'll appreciate better after you've tried just hacking at it for a while.

There is plenty room here to discuss the scientific side of improvisation, but I recommend that you give yourself some background via *imitation*. As discussed before, learn songs themselves, then embellish the melody, then play whatever you want.

I'm oversimplifying a bit, but that's the normal process. If you want some easy-to-follow clarinet music, try the old Benny Goodman small groups. Slower numbers like Moonglow or Body & Soul might be a good starting point.
