Professional career
Pepping studied composition at the Berliner Hochschule für Musik with Walter Gmeindl between 1922 and 1926. In 1934 he was appointed a teacher for music theory and composition at the Spandauer Kirchenmusikschule in Spandau, where he remained for much of his life. Among his many students was Helmut Barbe. Pepping taught also at the Berliner Hochschule from 1935 to 1938, and again from 1947 to 1968 as a professor of church music and composition.
