	Most qiyan were brought as girls or teenagers into rich households or special singing schools. Many would have served in other elite households before joining that of the caliph. They would have been tutored extensively in dancing, music composition and performance, poetry, and calligraphy by renowned masters as well as by former qiyan. These years of training made them some of the leading poets and performers of their time and a significant proportion of medieval Arabic female poets whose work survives today were qiyan. Amongst them, the most famous was ~~{{Wiki\|~~Arib al-Ma'muniyya~~\|Arib al'Mamuniyya}}~~ (797-890) whose skills made her rich, influential, and eventually free through a career spanning the courts of five caliphs.
