     Hassan Sabree  raised in Camden, New Jersey and attended Camden Public Schools and graduated from Camden High School in 1995 with high academic achievements and especially in music.  He graduated from Morgan State University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Education and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Rutgers University 2010.  Hassan started his musical career in elementary school playing the trumpet.  In 1987 Hassan joined the Unity Community Center's Martial Arts (Karate) program and was very dedicated, receiving his Black Belt November 10, 1990.  Hassan has won many local, national and world championships at Martial Art Tournaments all over America.  He won thousands of trophies and awards and today he is a 5th Degree Master Black Belt.  During this time Hassan was also a member in all of the Unity Community Center's programs.  He grew to become a teacher, leader, director and a great performer in all of the performing art programs such as the Universal Pasha Karate School, World Champion UPK Pasha Generals, Universal African Dance and Drum Ensemble, Deans, UCC Royal Brass Band, UCC Little Jazz Giants and all of the Music Programs.  Hassan is currently a School Teacher and Musical Director in the Camden Public Schools.  He is a wonderful role model, mentor, teacher and a family man married to his lovely wife Byheijja October 11, 2003 and blessed with 5 beautiful children (Amina, Naimah, Hassan II, Saleema, Maanami and Fatoumata).

     At a very young age Hassan and his musical friend's Jamal and Nasir Dickerson and others in the Unity Community Center's UCC Music programs were the original UCC Little Jazz Giants.  Since 1987 at the young age of 11, Hassan, Jamal and other talented young musicians paved the way for others.   These young musicians were highlighted at many community events in the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas sponsored by the Unity Community Center in Camden, New Jersey and other organizations.

    Photo to your left was a bill board advertisement posted all over the State of New Jersey by NJEA (New Jersey Education Association) with Hassan promoting the importance of education.   Hassan is also considered one of the most accomplished school teachers in New Jersey.

    Thousands of young children in the Unity Community Center were encouraged to study music and these young musicians encouraged others to join the Camden Public Schools music programs.  Today, many Camden teachers and administrators have recognized the contributions the Unity Community Center has offered to the Camden Public Schools, especially in the music educational programs and bands.

    Today, Hassan, Jamal and Nasir are Music School Teachers in the Camden Public Schools.  They are also the music  teachers in our Music Programs at the Unity Community Center, a non-profit organization in Camden, New Jersey.  These magnificent scholars dedicate their lives to the young people in the educational schools and sacrifice their time for the young people in many communities and especially within the Unity Community Center's after-school programs and late evening programs.

    We are very proud of Hassan Sabree's accomplishments with forming THE LITTLE JAZZ GIANTS and directing these young musicians and highlighting them at many prestigious events.
