Oscar Tudge

Oscar is a classically-trained percussionist currently studying a Bachelor of Music with Honours (Performance). He is particularly passionate about experimental Australian music and the construction of instruments through repurposed materials. Oscar has held multiple leadership roles within the University of Melbourne Music Students Society.

His interest in sustainability and the importance of education stems from his role as a music teacher and his time as a Scout. Here he has the opportunity to mentor others to develop personal skills in areas of leadership, teamwork, and the outdoors.

During the Wattle Fellowship, Oscar plans on using his skillset in the music and arts sector to explore how art can be created with the explicit intent of furthering environmental values and action.

Outside of music, Oscar enjoys camping and hiking; having spent over a 100 nights under canvas – including one in a self-made igloo!
