Dr. Ivey’s research focuses on wind band repertoire derived from shape-note melodies, rooted in his family’s tradition of Sacred Harp singing—a 19th-century practice still active today. He actively shares this heritage as an instructor at Camp Fasola, an annual summer camp dedicated to Sacred Harp music.
