Dave Revels has developed a music art appreciation program whereby he presents a musical tribute to the legends of American Rock and Roll. The presentation incorporates, costumes depicting the style of clothing worn by the legends of the 1950s and 1960s groups as well as a selection of their songs performed for the benefit of the students from Kindergarten to the

sixth grade. The students learn about the various elements which made the music so popular such as the harmonies, dances (the twist), costumes and the musical instruments such as the guitar, drums and piano. They are encouraged to ask questions as well as answer questions on their musical tastes. The answers they give for liking the kinds of groups they enjoy is used

to compare to the way kids felt about these legends back in the 50s and 60s.

Dave Revels also shares stories and advice given to him by many of these legends whom he has worked with for over 25 years. Legends such as Ben E. King, Shirley Alston-Reeves (original lead singer for the Shirelles, The Temptations, The Platters, Drifters, Coasters and the Marvelettes).

Students are also invited to participate in a dance routine created by Dave Revels called SHAKE, RATTLE, N ROLL.
