In almost all cases, students develop a deep appreciation for Chinese music once they begin to study it. At present, only four students are majoring in a traditional instrument: one is learning the ku ch'in, a seven-stringed zither that was formerly played by the intellectual elite; and three study the p'i-p'a, or Chinese lute.
