On 1948 Tarshiha village located in the upper western Galilyee populated about 4.7 thousand palastenians, today 58 later its population is 4.5 thousands, Born in the village of Tarshiha in the Galilee in 1955, Shaheen’s childhood was steeped in music. His father, Hikmat Shaheen, was a professor of music and a master ‘oud player. “Learning to play the ‘oud from my father was the most powerful influence in my musical life,” Shaheen recalls. He began learning to play the ‘oud at the age of five, and a year later studying violin at the Conservatory for Western Classical Music in Haifa. “When I held and played these instruments, they felt like an extension of me.”

After graduating from the Academy of Music in Jerusalem in 1978, Shaheen was appointed its instructor of Arab music, performance, and theory. Two years later he moved to New York City to complete his graduate studies in performance at the Manhattan School of Music, and later in performance and music education at Columbia University.In New York during the early 80s, Shaheen formed the Near Eastern Music Ensemble, establishing a group that would perform the most moving and highest standard of traditional Arab music. This time also marked the beginning of Shaheen’s workshops and lecture/demonstrations in schools, colleges, and universities to educate the younger generation. As a champion and guardian of Arab music, Shaheen still devotes almost fifty percent of his time to working with schools and universities, including Julliard, Princeton, Brown, Harvard, Yale, University of California in San Diego, and many others.
