[Dixielandjazz] could use some proffestional help

[Berl]

I could use some help. I play trumpet and I want to learn to improvise. I am not a great reader.
In practicing I have been jumping around and getting nowhere.
Can you guide me in how to organize and set up a practice routine.

I listen to a lot of CD's then get confused on how to improvise.

any suggestions please.
Thank You
