The printed version has a large photo of the student below playing an oud, although, the online version doesn't. Still a good reference in the 'mainstream media'. :)

"Students in high school pursue one of three tracks: ballet, European music or, like Azal Abdul Nassar, Arabic music. "I would love to one day play professionally," says Nassar, 15, sitting in the courtyard practicing his oud, a guitar-like instrument. Last year, Nassar was selected to perform at a music festival in Turkey. He says he hopes music will allow him to see the world."
