Alec Andrew Templeton (4 July 1909/10 – 28 March 1963) was a Welsh composer, pianist, and satirist. He was was born in Cardiff, Wales. There is some confusion concerning Templeton's year of birth. Most published and Internet biographies give his birth year as 1909, and it was certainly registered in September of that year, but his headstone shows 1910 as his year of birth. Blind from birth and gifted with absolute pitch, he studied from the age of 9 at Worcester College, Oxford with Ivor Atkins (organ)and later at London's Royal Academy of Music, where his piano teachers were Lloyd Powell and Isador Goodman.
