Punika worked on playing chords and melodies separately before combining them, and Carolina provided the music sheet via email for further practice. Their next lesson is set to resume from measure 51 of the piece.

Carolina recently guided a violin student, who resides in East Fresno, through a lesson focused on refining their technique. They concentrated on scales, wrist and thumb positioning, and a new piece. The student diligently practiced F major and A melodic minor scales, made adjustments to their hand position for improved shifting and vibrato, and started learning a new piece, paying close attention to specific fingering and shifting in challenging sections. For homework, Carolina assigned the new piece, and a double-stop piece is planned for their next lesson.
