You'll start to see results in days. The course consists of the most useful material minus the hours of wasted efforts. Yes there is over 5 hours of material, but I have divided this into manageable lessons. You can progress at your own pace, most students aim complete the course within 1 or 2 months but others like to spread out the learning. Mastery is dependant on how much time you dedicate to practice. Learning is ongoing, and my hope is the content inspires you to 1000's of hours of future practice and performances!
