Hello JustinGuitar Community (: I'm Amanda in Singapore

I’m Amanda from Singapore, happy to meet you all :partying_face:

I started picking up the guitar in 2019 (my first and only guitar is a Suzuki classical one) 'cause I wanted to be a music therapist and being able to play the guitar was one of the requirements. I stumbled across JustinGuitar and it really helped me a lot when it came to learning from ground zero.

I took a pause during covid which was also the time I was training to be a music therapist in Sydney. After returning to Singapore and starting work as an early intervention music therapist (where I have to constantly play guitar), very recently I decided to pick up where I left off and I’m so surprised and delighted that JustinGuitar is so revamped now with heaps of really helpful features and I can already feel myself much more motivated to challenge/learn new stuff compared to years ago. Great job and thank you so much Justin and team!
