My teachers think the same way. So, I am probably wrong. Here is my reasoning though:
We have two sentences here – Michael is one of the boys – the main And – who like/likes classical music – the other one (noun clause? I am not sure of he name), which modifies a word in the main one.
Which word? If modifies “one” than “likes” is correct. But if it modifies “boys”, than “like” would be the better choice.
I see that there are two group of boys: the boys who like classical music, and the boys who don’t. Michael is a member of a first group.

Can it be seen this way?
