From the Handbook of Texas: Irl Allison, Sr (1896-1979) was a pianist, music educator, and founder of the National Guild of Piano Teachers. As a young man Allison was a silent-film pianist in a Waco, Texas theater. Although Allison was best-known to hundreds of thousands of music teachers and their pupils by his signature on certificates awarded by the National Guild for participation in the Annual National Piano Playing Auditions, he was also a renowned music teacher. Allison edited the guild yearbook from 1936 to 1945 and Piano Guild Notes from 1951 to 1963. He contributed to several musical publications and newspapers and wrote Through the Years (1925). He also founded the Golden Rule Peace Movement and began the World Peace Programs for radio in 1948. Under the auspices of the guild, Allison compiled and edited the Irl Allison Library of Music series in thirty-three volumes; he also initiated and promoted into an international event the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
