Ivory McCann

Ivory will be hosting as President of the New Orleans Chapter of the American Harp Society and also participating as a faculty teacher.

We think the Jazz Harp Weekend has great potential not only to improve the musical skills of our professional and student harpists, but also to generate interest among music students to study jazz harp on a more regular basis. We have the great privilege of being able to live in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. We think this is the perfect place to learn to play Jazz Harp.

We want to encourage students to explore avenues of making music, other than orchestral playing and solo recitals. The more versatile that our harp students become, the more opportunities they will have to work as professional musicians.
