学吹风笛这事其实大概6、7岁就有想法了，当时听到风笛音乐的时候就被吸引的不行。然而这乐器毕竟是特色乐器，在中国很难买到也很少有人教。于是一路成长上来学过口琴，学过小提琴，学过……就是没学到风笛。
The thinking to learn playing bagpipe started when I was 6, 7. It was so attractive when I first listened to bagpipe music. But bagpipe is kind of special instrument popular in specific districts except China, and hard to find bagpipe teachers in China as well. So I have learned about harmonica, violin instead of bagpipe in so many years.
这不，都二十多岁了，到澳洲留学，英联邦国家，还围观了几次节日游行，当地的风笛乐队经过时第一次现场听到了风笛演奏，震撼的不行。赶紧学！
Until my 20+ years old, being a student in Australia, a Commonwealth country. Took part in several holiday parades, it was amazing to hear bagpipe band playing with my ears! It’s time to learn playing bagpipe!
初步了解了一下，学吹风笛一般是从练习笛开始学，指法熟练以后再上真正的风笛。因为风笛声音比较大，体积也比较大，所以更适合在开放区域演奏，练习笛和一般竖笛差不多大，声音也小，适合在室内联系，不会打扰邻居，而且练习笛比较便宜。
Do some research, bagpipe learner should start from practice chanter, then upgrade to real bagpipe until the fingers are skillful. Also, practice chanter is quieter and smaller than bagpipe so that it’s easier to play indoor without interrupt neighbors. And, chanter is cheaper for a student 🙂
买来练习笛首先不得不学会调整簧片。在网络上看了很多个练习笛维护的视频，看怎么修整簧片使得练习笛更容易吹奏。光是调整簧片就弄了三天。
The first thing I have learn is adjusting the reeds. Absorbing knowledge about reeds from internet tutorials, it took me three days to fix it.
接下来就开始练习指法把！
