During a recent violin lesson, Daniel assisted Austen with tuning his instrument, then reviewed the G scale and proper posture before introducing the D scale. Their practice included plucking and bow techniques. Audio issues arose, prompting them to troubleshoot and explore Zoom's features for better sound quality during the lesson.
