About Mike
Teacher has 50 years of professional performances and teaching. Air Force Band Washington, D.C. TV, concerts, recording, and more.
I use modern technology and old school methods to get just the right results. All students excel, but ast their own rate. They stay, the will increase practice as they get better. The must have fun to continue. That means the teacher and parent has to be very patient.
This is my life's persuit. I currently play and run a Big Band with very outstanding musicians. at gigmasters see Call The Cousins.

I not only mold musicians, but I help in the raising of the child. It's a village that helps the child grow. I reflect normal ideas that you will believe in, and reinforce with them.
My 50 years of experiece is based on starting at 13. Now i realize that i was not very good then, but i knew then that i wanted to teach.
As an athlete in High School though i started in all three sports, I wanted to coach.
In the Air Force my job was to play guitar, bass, and sing. That was my job. Piano came along around 25 years ago,.
Paul Ryberg, a former Army musician convinced me without saying a word. He was my high school music theory teacher, vocal teacher, and gave me an independent theory class, on his hour off each day, along with Bill Jones and 2 others. Bill ended up playing with Elvis Costello. He was the drummer in the band i played in all thru High School, even the 6 night a week gig as seniors.
A lifelong professional player. From 6 nights a week in High School, playing in lounges, to the Air Force Band - Age 17. On and on, never stopping. 20 years after the Air Force in cover bands, now called Tribute Bands. Studying music theory was a must and also a joy from the beginning. I've performed at the White House, Constitution Hall, and even the recording studio for Ed Green, Los Angeles.

Both of our children (6 and 8) take piano lessons with Mike. He’s a very talented musician and also incredibly patient with kids. He makes special effort to make the lessons interesting and fun for young kids. He not only teach them music skills, but also emotional skills and attitude that are important for their leaning success. Our kids love teacher Mike, and so do we!
I like the program Mike Askew uses to help his students with their practice. He works well with young students. He's patient and encourages them to do their best.
Mr. Mike has been teaching my son from the past 2 years. I like the fact that he is very patient and very professional.
Mike is a fine musician, convivial, accommodating and a delight with whom to interact. I will gladly take calls, or emails one on one, as requested.
I like him,because he is very professional and he always he is on time and my son he loves him.
Mike is a wonderfully kind, patient but firm teacher, who understands children’s different capabilities and temperaments and adjust accordingly.
Mike has the unique ability to weave music theory into his lessons while you think you are just working on new songs. No doubt my studying with him for 5 years made me a more sophisticated and knowledgeable player.
He is knowledgeable and communicate well with kids.
Mike has been great at building a trusted and run working relationship with my daughter - inspiring her to love playing the guitar.
Very flexible lesson format and direction. Always has something ibteresting and relevant to teach.
Mr. Mike is very professional and very experienced musician and teacher. My 2 children are with him for a few years and they like him a lot. My 11 year old (now) daughter still continues to learn piano and my 16 year old (now) is learning both bass and acoustic guitars. He's patient and great with children. He also encourages them which is a plus. I highly recommend Mr. Mike!
Mike is very patient with our children and his passion for teaching is undeniable. I recommend his services to all parents who want music in their children's future.
Mike is a great teacher -- patient, flexible, and clearly loves music. His style is relaxed, and he encourages his students to go at a pace comfortable to them. He is open to all kinds of music. In addition, he's always been punctual and reliable. My daughter started lessons with him first, and after about a year, I decided to take lessons with Mike, too!
