Private Music Instructor
Jim Cash is the owner, co-founder and a full-time private music instructor at Potomac Falls Music. He teaches guitar, bass, piano, ukulele and Native American style flute lessons and offers Artist and Master Coaching in songwriting, recording, production, and artist development.
Jim studied Anthropology at George Mason University, with a focus on ethnomusicology and original ethnographic fieldwork deposited in the Northern Virginia Folklore Archive. His classical guitar studies began under Larry Snitzler — an Associate Professor at GMU who studied personally with Andrés Segovia in Spain, one of the most distinguished classical guitar lineages in the world. He continued his training in rock, blues, and jazz under additional distinguished instructors throughout the DC metropolitan area. In 2004 he began teaching professionally, quickly becoming a sought-after instructor in the region. He has offered private lessons, group lessons, and workshops for a variety of music schools, including the National Guitar Workshop.
As a performing artist, Jim is an award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose work has won first prize in Relix Magazine’s Jam Off Competition and earned multiple Washington Area Music Award nominations. His songs have been licensed to Discovery Channel, TLC, and PBS. He is a co-founder of Woven Green, whose acclaimed 2017 album Into Bloom has aired on more than 250 college radio stations nationwide. Most recently, Jim co-founded Waking Stone — featuring drummer Nik Hughes of the band Bush — and is currently recording and releasing new music!
“Jim Cash started teaching my 3 boys when they were barely old enough to hold the instrument. Each summer, when they get to pick their after-school-activities, Jim makes top of the list. He has become part of their lives, not just as a guitar instructor, but as a friend, mentor, and role model. And their guitar playing sounds really good, too!”
