Thing is that even though he had about 15 years experience with digital photography, all the prints were pretty bad. It is not like you can just buy some gear and make great B&W prints. I'd give it the same time commitment as learning violin. So, for the first month or so you will be learning how to tune and doing scales. So, likewise you will be learning how to load film holders, and how to use the shutter and ground glass and how to focus and compose upside down and backward, etc.
