Jonathan Cohen is a British pianist, composer and musical director. He is particularly known for his work on many BBC children's programmes from the 1960s to the 1990s, including Play School, Playbus (latterly Playdays), Play Away, Rentaghost and Jackanory. He frequently appeared as a pianist on programmes such as Play Away and also presented some of the musical items. In 2005, he staged a theatre production called Still Playing Away alongside former Play Away presenter Brian Cant, which was a trip down memory lane of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
