Dear teacher

For my homework assignement improvising study, I would like to know if I can change jam track and key while keeping my head and ending. I would like to correct several licks.

2 questions 1- I chose a flat

2 questions

1- I chose a flat tire in the key of D. I do not hear the turnaround. should I remove it from my play and stay on the chord I or add it?

2- the focus notes I chose should be in ascending (pitch) order for chorus 2-3-4-5 ? if yes, I imagine that the order of chorus form have no longer matter.
