I'm quite sure at the first time you'll need some teacher who could explain to you the basics things about music notes and scripture. You could do it while you start to play the instrument.

Yes, of course. I would suggest send me the last score that you had played and I will tell you in my opinion which one is the best chapter to restart.

Every day my students and I play the instrument trying to be better and better players. There isn't a time to said, "OK, I'm a good player" It is a daily work. Even though I would tell you the time what my ordinary students needs (since the very beginning to play an easy arrangement of a tango) oscillate between two or three month.

The method is accessible for amateur players. If after some time of practicing some student wants to be a professional player; he/she already has the basic things to get a good position and sound.
