iPhoto transfer

Is there a simple way to transfer my iPhoto library over to the new photo app?

I have a very large iPhoto library and iCloud is out of the question. I have a MacBook Pro with all my music and photos stored on an external hard drive.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Assuming your external is formatted for Mac, it is easier than you think. 8^) Just launch Photos with the option key held down. From the resulting dialog choose your iPhoto Library. Photos will create a new Photos Library from your iPhoto media. Your iPhoto Library will not be changed.
