How to Develop a Flute Solo in E Flat

I have now played chord change, I have now played a solo using the chord changes in the key of E flat to show how to play a blues solo. When soloing and improvising it is really important to keep in mind where you are going and also to make sure that your solo makes sense. It's good to keep a musical contour line while you are playing. This helps create the line of the solo. It also helps end, it also helps when you are thinking about an ending for your solo. It's really important that you end your solo with something that sounds like an ending. Like the end of an idea, so you're not starting a new idea. Let's start. I will now play a solo for you and notice how I have a musical contour that has an ending which sounds like an ending in a solo. You can notice how my line moved up, built, and had a top of a phrase and then moved down and had and ending so you could tell it was the end of my solo. This is very important to keep in mind while you're soloing.
