Yes indeed! Well, actually, almost there. Still on the practice chanter, though my Pipe Major has said that if he had a set I be trying them now. I started learning just over two months ago now, and it's proven to be a lot of fun so far, even just walking around school with the practice chanter practicing the fingerings. Definitely a good idea to have a teacher, as then they'll be able to show you how to do things properly, and what to fix, an so on.

Something that might help with your timimg (I know it helped mine) was being able to listen to the tunes. With a program like Bagpipe Reader it's possible to play songs from the sheet music which you can find from sites like this bagpipe web directory(the BMW files). I hope this helps, if not with actually playing, then with finding more tunes to learn.
