Amit Golan (1964 - 2010) (Hebrew: עמית גולן) was an Israeli pianist, composer, and jazz educator. Born in Haifa and educated first at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and then at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York, he returned to Israel in the 1990s to teach the style. He was the founder of the Center for Jazz Studies at the Israel Conservatory of Music in Tel Aviv and performed with the Amit Golan Jazz Quintet.〔Israel Conservatory of Music.

==Life and career==
Golan received his initial music education at The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance where he studied classical music and composition. After he finished his classical studies, he went to New York City where he discovered his passion for jazz. He was influenced by Bill Evans's playing, but decided that to understand Evans's technique he had to learn what influenced Evans himself. He then attended The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York and studied privately with "old school" players like Walter Bishop, Jr., Reggie Workman, Billy Harper, Jim Hall, Kenny Werner, and Harry Barris. He focused his studies on Jazz History, studying with Phil Schaap and Ira Gitler.〔
When Golan returned to Israel in the 1990s, he thought of working as a film composer. This plan was never accomplished because he immediately received an offer from The Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts to teach the Jazz History course and direct small ensembles. His course program spread over four years, covering the roots of jazz, moving on to Swing, Be Bop, and Hard Bop. While he was teaching at Thelma Yellin, Golan also taught at other schools. In 2001, he formed The Center for Jazz Studies at the Israel Conservatory of Music, Tel Aviv. Soon after, he collaborated with the New School to create a program where students could study for two years at the Conservatory, and finish their degrees in New York.〔Davis, Barry (16 September 2011).

In 2007, he directed the jazz series "Home" at Beit Avi Chai, Jerusalem, which held eight concerts featuring Israeli jazz musicians playing pieces he composed himself.〔Blachman, Hannah (16 March 2007).

Golan died on December 3, 2010 from a cardiac arrest after collapsing during a basketball game with his music students. He was 46.〔〔''Maariv'' (15 December 2010). (בתלמה ילין אבלים על מות המורה עמית גולן ("Thelma Yellin mourns the death of fellow teacher Golan") ). Retrieved 24 April 2015 .〕
