| A master of Oriental music. He was born in Jerusalem 1948. His father "Omar" – who was a well known composer and performer on "Kanoon, Uod, and violin" - taught Hasan the basics of Arabic music. Hasan loved all types of music and was curious to learn playing different types of instruments. But his highest fond was for the Nai wind-instrument. He was able to get Nai's from good Nai makers in Syria and started the journey of self-education. Hasan believed that music education is very important to crystallize the talent. |
Then, Hasan continued his studying and graduated from the Arab
Music Institute / Cairo-Egypt in 1970 as a "Nai" player. Over
there, he met many musicians who were considered pillars of music
and started learning from them, until he met the master of Nai the
late Mahmood Effat. Then, Hasan started the journey of learning
from Mr. Effat until he felt that he needs more. Hasan met more
musicians with whom he exchanged experiences.

of friendships. He kept on performing and teaching in The
