You will probably learn the scale in a day or two. It’s only nine notes. If you can read music or have a talent for mimicry, you can probably play a recognizable tune on the practice chanter in a day or two. By the way, I describe the sound of the PC as a cross between an oboe and a kazoo. It ain’t the most musical of instruments!
You WILL spend hours learning the embellishments that make pipe music interesting. You will have to get used to the fact that you can’t vary the volume, can’t “rest” between notes. 100% of your expression will be tempo variation and embellishments.
