See Vidya, if you really have devotion towards music, you will be able to learn music in 2 months only. Your catching power matters a lot for learning music. Listen to devotional songs of The Legendary- Lata Mangeshkar which can help you to learn quickly.

Classical Music is like doing yoga for your voice so, it needs practice but not for so long, can give only 1 hour per day, but it has to be daily. According to me the first step is singing in the chorus.
