Alana Scott

Alana Scott

Greetings! My name is Alana Scott, and I am the choir director at McNair Junior High  School. I graduated from Louisiana State University with a bachelor's degree in music education, and completed studies in music composition. I am excited to work at refining our students' proficiency in the art of choral singing, and to create lots of opportunities for authentic music creation! In my free time, I love trying new foods, visiting new places, hanging out with my pet cat, and writing music of my own. 

Fun Facts:

  1. I love cooking and trying new foods from many cultures!

  2. I grew in in the gospel tradition, but have sung in many different types of choirs. Choir has always been a huge part of my life! 

  3. My favorite types of music are jazz, r&b, classical, and hip hop.

I am looking forward to teaching students the skills that they need to own this craft! Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Shell Stutes

Shell Stutes, coloratura soprano, earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree from Louisiana State University (2022). While a student at LSU, Shell was in the voice studio of soprano Sandra Moon. During their studies, Shell sang in a variety of choirs at LSU, including A Cappella Choir, Chamber Singers and Chorale. After graduation, Shell worked as a professional chorister in Opus Vocal Ensemble, BRACE New Music Choir, St. Paul Lutheran Choir, and St. Joseph Cathedral Choir.

Shell has performed as a soloist in choral works: Grand Pianola Music (Adams), "Kyrie" from Missa in Angustiis (Haydn), "Die düst'ren Wolken trennen sich" from Die Jahreszeiten (Haydn) and opera roles: Ariadne auf Naxos (Naiad), The Cunning Little Vixen (Young Vixen), and ensemble for The Marriage of Figaro, Falstaff, and Eugene Onegin.

Throughout their career as a voice and piano teacher, Shell has had students make Louisiana ACDA and LMEA choirs, receive superior ratings in solo and ensemble competitions, and pursue music at the collegiate level. As a teacher, Shell aims to continue to foster a love of music by helping students reach their individual goals, and further their music education by improving technique as well as literacy, repertoire, and history. Shell Stutes is excited to be starting a music career in Texas, and to be working with you.
