Testimonials

"Jim Cash has been our son’s guitar instructor for nearly 5 years. Our son began his lessons with Potomac Falls Music at the age of 12, having no previous music instruction of any sort. Our son thrived with the lessons that he received. Jim customized the lessons to meet our son’s goals and interests. Our son learned an incredible amount about playing guitar and music in general. He looked forward to each lesson, was excited with what he learned and loved the opportunities that Potomac Falls Music provided for him to perform for a live audience. In addition to the benefits of learning about music and how to play guitar, our son’s personal growth was very positively impacted by Jim who is a wonderful role model. We could not be more pleased with the experience our family had with Potomac Falls 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!"
-Petra Barrientos, Great Falls, VA

"I've been learning guitar from Jim Cash for about six years now. I've come a long way from banging out (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction on a friend's acoustic guitar, and Jim's been with me every step of the way, helping me grow as a musician. As a teacher and a guitarist, he's incredibly knowledgeable and very talented--as well as being one of the nicest guys I know. Truthfully, I wouldn't want to learn guitar from anybody else."
-Albert Tholen, Great Falls, VA

"Since 2008, my daughter Catie has been fortunate to have had the guidance of Potomac Falls Music to learn guitar and vocals. Ashley's positive and professional approach has taken Catie to a much higher level of performance than most expect from typical music lessons. Ashley's background and direct experience with Woven Green is what sets these lessons apart from others. Catie has not just learned to play instrument, she has learned how to perform and love it! Their bi-annual music events are another key component for the kid's to enjoy what they have learned that others do not offer. Catie has been coached in everything from Rock/Folk music to Italian Arias, and would not be the performer she is today without Potomac Falls Music.. We plan on continuing this partnership for many years to come!"
