Hands On With Zig
Zig Wajler mixes music technology and multiculturalism to introduce elements
of composition, in an interactive mode. Kids and adults connect with sounds
they know, mix them with sounds they may not know, and experience
self-expression mixed with fun. Projects and artists Zig has been involved
with include Shari Lewis and Lambchop, Bob McGrath and Sesame Street. Zig
has appeared on ABC, VH-1, PBS, Fox, Disney, and Comedy Central. Visit
