A group for Sacred Harp Data Analysis

[Jake Harmon]

Hi all!

My name is Jake Harmon, and I've been singing from the Sacred Harp book for about a year now, though I've listened to it for years. I'm also a graduate student in Atlanta studying epidemiology, and I've become interested using data science, particularly epidemiological methods, to minutes data we collect. Here's an example of one project I'm working on: https://51t3yt-jake-harmon.shinyapps.io/sacred_harp_km_app/

I had the pleasure of meeting Will Fitzgerald at the 2025 convention recently, and we decided to create a Discord dedicated to facilitating collaboration between data scientists interested in Sacred Harp music; if this is something that interests you, I invite you to join us at SHaDRAC - the Sacred Harp Data Research and Analytics Collective!

Here is a link to join (it will only be live for a week, because Discord is particular):

Here is my discord info if the link expires before it finds you; feel free to friend and DM me to be added; https://discordlookup.com/user/1315773712708009984

Best,

Jake Harmon
