His musical education began as a chorister at Bruern Abbey and continued at St Edward's School, Oxford, under the tutelage of Julian McNamara and Anthony Kerr-Dineen. During his time at the University of Nottingham (from which he holds both undergraduate and doctorate degrees), he directed the university's chamber choir, Viva Voce, for several years. During this time, the choir performed premieres of works by Gavin Bryars (in conjunction with the London Sinfonietta and subsequently broadcast on BBC Radio 3) and Tarik O'Regan (with the Orlando Consort). Under the guidance of Jonathan Tilbrook, he was also Chief Conductor of the University Sinfonia and for a time, the University Chorus.  Having completed his studies, he taught for several years in the renowned music department at Uppingham School.

As Director of Music at St Peter's Nottingham, Dr Siepmann trains and directs the church choir Sunday-by-Sunday as well as on regular visits to both domestic and foreign destinations (with recent years seeing tours to Notre-Dame de Paris, Westminster Abbey, and most of the UK's major cathedrals). The choir's repertoire spans everything from plainsong and renaissance polyphony to new commissions (most recently from Howard Skempton). As well as developing the Saturday morning series of 'Coffee Break' Concerts, he oversaw the fund raising, design and installation of the new church organ which was installed at Christmas 2010 and is now widely admired. 

Peter Siepmann is married to Adele, and lives in Beeston, Nottingham.
