In Inleiding tot improvisatie komt het improviserenover akkoorden uitgebreid aan de orde. Ook luisteroefeningen, analyses van toonsoorten en verschillende stijlen - met de daarbij behorende muzikale vormen en patronen - zijn in deze methode te vinden. Bij elk van de twee boekenis een cd bijgevoegd met luister- en meespeeloefeningen, die je helpen om te improviseren over steeds ingewikkelder structuren tot je de kunst van de improvisatie zelfstandig beheerst.
