#57 Zig Wajler, Jr., drummer and arts in education artist

Zig listened to records constantly as a kid and knew early on that he wanted to be a drummer. He says, "Being a great listener is the key to music." He played in jazz and other bands in L.A. and then moved to Nashville, where he started playing for kids. His "Hands On With Zig" program has brought joy to well over a million children. He says, "Music has no boundaries." He especially enjoys working with children with special needs. Zig says kids do better with music, relating to math, science, and other disciplines better. He encourages musicians to advocate for music in the schools and to be "arts in education artists." Check out www.handsonwithzig.com
