So, you know how people learn to play music with instruments, like a guitar or piano? Well, some people like to play a very special instrument called a bagpipe. But before they can play the whole bagpipe, they need to practice on something called a practice chanter.
The practice chanter is a special part of the bagpipe that you can play all by itself. It looks like a long, skinny pipe with holes in it. When you blow into it and cover up the holes with your fingers, it makes different sounds.
Just like when you learn how to write or do math, you need to practice a lot before you can get really good at playing the practice chanter. You start by playing very simple songs, and then you learn more and more as you get better.
Once you get really good at the practice chanter, you can start playing the whole bagpipe! But even if you never go that far, playing the practice chanter is still a really cool way to make beautiful music.
