I'm confused - don't people usually improvise to create?
Or do all you guys sit down with paper and write down the notes all first? I don't know - I can't read or write sheet music, so I don't know how exactly it works, but can you really tell what it would sound like just from the marks on the paper, without actually hearing it being played? Or do you think up a tune in your head in full and then write it down?
When I create something, or when I'm improvising, I usually take only one or two elements of what I've played, or maybe none of it, or maybe most of it, and add it onto something else I'm creating. Or would you count this as not a real improvisation because I've only selected specific bits, and not let the whole thing stand as a piece in its own right?
Thanks,
Jack

I personally really suck at improvising.
When I'm composing I find that it's best to think what atmosphere, mood etc. you want to create. Then, using notes and chords that are best suited to making it happen, putting it together on paper or playing it out on an instrument.
Music created spontaneously is sometimes great (sometimes it's, well, not) but it's just a personal preference thing.

With my first 3 songs I improvised melodies on a keyboard and these where low brass arangments! and now I am heading for the big stuff....right now Im writting a song a bout the frist few years of WWII and ending with a Battle Theme for DDay and Im using improv on my Trombone and a Piano for now!
So yeah I basically use Improv to write my stuff!
