Giacomo worked with Minna on improving her piano playing, focusing on correcting inaccurate notes and refining her rhythmic accuracy in a Mozart piece. They analyzed the piece's rhythm, practiced counting exercises, and identified areas where she needed to hold notes longer. They switched to Bach's Minuet in G for the next lesson, and scheduled follow-up sessions for Monday and Tuesday.
