Ilan is a British film composer who has established himself as an exciting young talent in the world of film music. Born in London into a musical family, Ilan grew up playing violin and later took up playing guitar in bands. He studied Music and English literature at Leeds University, during which time he also worked with film composer Ed Shearmur learning first-hand the technique of film composition. After graduating, he went on to work with other film composers such as Michael Kamen and Hans Zimmer. At this time Ilan began scoring his own projects, and his talent for creating cinematic music on a limited budget soon gained him recognition within the film industry.
Personal tutors recognised by Student Union awards
The efforts of two personal tutors in the School of Music were recognised in the Leeds University Student Union ‘I Love My Personal Tutor’ awards for 2009.Allan Greenwood (pictured above), course coordinator for the Popular and World Musics BA, was given a prize for his outstanding input to the experience of his personal tutees. Simon Warner, who teaches principally on the same BA, also received a nomination from his tutees.
The awards, now in their second year, invite students, both undergraduate and taught postgraduate, to name those tutors who have been most helpful and supportive over the year.
A trophy was presented to Allan Greenwood to record his special achievement, while Simon Warner was given a certificate to reflect the gratitude shown by his tutees.
Suzy Tobias, Welfare Officer of LUU, commented: “We would like to thank all the students who took the time to nominate their personal tutors; there was no actual incentive attached to these nomination, so it just goes to show how much they wanted to recognise all the hard work, dedication and support of their tutors this year.”
