15 hours of practice a week is actually pretty good, as long as you stick with it.  I seem to recall hearing that it takes about 10,000 hours of good practice at something to achieve mastery.  You'll reach that in under two years at your present rate of practice.

3 hours a day for 5 days a week,  that is impressive!  what is a good beginner flourishing trick for me to start off with?
