About Mike

Mike Naber is a musician and music educator in the North Texas area, bringing with him decades of experience and a deep passion for student growth. A graduate of the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Music in Saxophone Performance and a minor in Music Education, Mike has more than 25 years of professional experience as a performer, songwriter, lesson teacher, and music director.

Mike is known not just for his musical expertise, but for his extraordinary patience and his gift for creating a safe, encouraging space where students can explore, express, and grow. Whether he’s guiding a beginner through their first piano piece or helping an advanced student break through a creative block, Mike has a remarkable ability to redirect frustration into discovery. His students consistently thrive under his calm and compassionate direction.

In addition to working with younger students, Mike is a favorite among our adult learners. He also mentors advanced students as apprentice teachers, offering them the unique opportunity to deepen their musical knowledge by learning how to teach others.
“My goal,” says Mike, “is to understand each student’s musical vision and help them map a clear, joyful path to get there. We work hard, but we have fun doing it.”

Mr. Mike is the best.(and I’m not just saying that) Mr. Mike teaches me things and gives me fun brakes like face ball. And even though I get on his nerves he still doesn’t get mad and he’s caring. So I give him 10/10

We can't say enough great things about Mr. Mike! From the moment we met him, he has made learning the Piano fun! Addison truly enjoys visiting him each week & has never been more excited to practice at home!
Beesinger Family
Imagine a teacher who creates a jolly atmosphere, where a student can "learn how to learn" a difficult piece, who encourages exploration and discovery, who makes a spontaneous, joyful melody if you simply bring him four notes, who can EVEN play "Skating" from "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Voila! Mr Mike!
