Donnie Johns: The Percussionist as Entrepreneur

Episode 29 with Donnie Johns

Besides keeping an active teaching and performing schedule in the DC area, Donnie Johns also coordinates both the DMV percussion and music academy. We initially reached out to Donnie to talk about a short, yet very concise, article he wrote for PAS last Fall titled "The Percussionist as Entrepreneur". This is a topic that has come up several times over the last year with other guests, so it was nice to hear Donnie’s perspective, insight and additional comments on the subject.
