See: Prodigies Of Cello, Piano Delight In Talent Show Performance
Two sixth graders wowed the Wells Middle School community with a classical mashup of "Pirates of the Caribbean" songs.

DUBLIN, CA — Sixth grade musical prodigies and honors students Michael Oliveira, cello player, and Remon Wang, piano player, had just two practice sessions in a week before they treated the Wells Middle School Talent Show crowd to a unique rendition of "Pirates of the Caribbean" classics.
It was their first middle school talent show performance. Principal Robert Slauson said he was extremely proud of the students.
"Rarely do we see people of their age with such talent," Slauson said. "These particular young men just seem to have a knack."

Both boys speak more than one language, have been playing instruments for years and said they have perfect pitch and can discern a note without a tuner.
"As sixth graders, it's overwhelming how much talent they already have," Slauson said.

Michael's mom, also a musician, created a mashup of four songs. Michael recruited friend Remon to accompany him on the piano.
Remon said he was a bit nervous for his first talent show performance. He didn't have time to memorize the music and brought it onstage.
The boys were still a hit.
Though Michael played the cello during the show, he also has played the piano, violin, trumpet and clarinet.
"It's like a language other musicians can communicate without knowing each other," he said.
Remon plays the piano and marimba, and has tried his hand at the trumpet and violin. Music is a relaxing and very fun hobby, he said.
When Michael isn't playing music, he might be brushing up on his Portugese or Chinese, solving a Rubix cube in 55 seconds or practicing for his Tae Kwon Do third degree black belt.
You might find Remon, who moved to the U.S. 2½ years ago from Shanghai, engaging in Mathcounts competitions, playing in his band or ballroom dancing.
