Kendall Griffith is a student at_.Bard College majoring in both the pipa, a four
stringed Chinese lute, and Asian studies. Born and raised in Boston, Griffith started her
journey into Chinese culture nine years ago, when she began learning Chinese for its
writing system and tones.
While learning Chinese, she was captivated by traditional Chinese music in a drama
she was watching. Griffith did some research and discovered that the instrument she was
drawn to was the pipa.
"I like the sound of the pipa, especially the techniques that are incorporated with it,"
Griffith says, adding that her parents and friends have been very supportive of her
learning Chinese traditional music.
Griffith's father helped her discover the instrument and she found her first pipa
teacher, who was part of the Boston Chinese Ensemble. Sometimes, after performances,
people would tell her, "I've never seen a non-Chinese person play this before. That's very
cool. "

things in calligriJ.phy. There's a lot of empty space, and I can now incorporate that feeling
into a lot of the music I play," she says.

horse; you can visualize it. There are many techniques not seen in Western instruments,

my friends about it," she says. Griffith's friends, who were amazed by her impressions,
