Hi, ime!

NO, I don't think it's advisable, unless you have done and practiced
weill the 24 form-- this is a very good foundation for more advanced
forms, especially of the Yang style. The 42 is a mix of yang, sung
and chen styles. So, it's not always graceful and slow throughout.

What have you learned so far?

Most of them are senior Chinese Filipinos. Starting at 6:30AM, they
do tai chi in bare hands, or with fan or with sword, to the tune of a
graceful and slow tai chi music. (See attached pictures. They're
rather small though.)

hopefully we'll start next Sunday.
