How do people improvise twinkle twinkle little star so well?

Well, for starters, knowing the scales helps you in that you know the notes more and how they sound. To improvise, you need to be able to know what will sound right and when to play it. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is a well known song that most people have been hearing for years. It is often the first song people can play on a new instrument. Just keep trying to find something that sounds great. Bottom line is: just go with the flow. What sounds right probably is right with music. Good luck!!! :)

Because your question contained the word "star", Yahoo!Answer dropped it into astronomy. In general, our instruments are telescopes, mostly because most of us are not good as musical instruments. A lot of mathematics equations do apply to real life and, just like musical instruments, you have to find "variations" on a theme in order to take a "theoretical" equation (for example a quadratic) and fit it to a real problem (for example, the trajectory of an unpowered vehicle, not in a stable orbit, will be a parabola, which is what a quadratic describes). Same thing with music, where a basic tune can be altered to fit different moods. In both cases, you need to practice getting the basic things first (equations or tunes).

There is no simple answer. Familiarity with your instrument and a Quick ear will enable you to easily improvise. Also, knowing the basic 'Trademarks' of the music you are playing will help you have a 'framework' in mind. It seems that you just need to do more research on basic music theory. Study the sinple concepts involved and think about them Every time you listen to music. If you can do that, you can figure things out as you move along to more difficult things. There is no simple answer here.
