No previous scientific or musical experience is assumed.

Tutor Profile Dr Lloyd Hollenberg completed his PhD at the School of Physics, University of Melbourne, in 1989. His areas of study include quantum computing, elementary particle physics and bioinformatics. After studying overseas he returned to a staff position back at Melbourne and for some fun joined CAE's Didgeridoo playing classes in 1997. After playing for a few years, he began to develop an interest in further study of the didg. He has participated in numerous concerts and performs regularly in concerts held at the Healesville Sanctuary.
