Erling Pedersen was educated by Erling Møldrup at The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Aarhus. He graduated with a Diploma in 1985. During his time at the conservatory, Erling Pedersen also took lessons in composition by Tage Nielsen. He has participated in several masterclasses by for instance Hubert Kaeppel, Oscar Ghiglia and Julian Bream. His compositional style is very diverse. In his younger years, he was under much influence by composers such as Per Nørgaard, Axel Borup Jørgensen and serialism in general. Nowadays he seems almost ”traditional” in his works with significant impact from the renaissance and has what some would call a folkloristic Nordic lyrical voice. He has mainly composed pieces for smaller chamber-ensembles. For instance string quartets, Wind quintets, pieces for flute/cello and guitar, and mixed ensembles. For many years he has also written music for several Rock Bands as well as arrangement work of music in many styles.
