Our Teachers

Anna Laura Quinn is a New Orleans-based vocalist and bandleader who is rapidly gaining notice for her particular blend of contemporary jazz, well-loved tunes from the American Songbook, French and Brazilian music, and more. She received her Masters in Jazz Studies from University of New Orleans in May 2021, and released her first full length album entitled "Open the Door" in February 2022. Anna's work is propelled by her unwavering dedication to music, visual art, collaboration, and education. As an educator and music facilitator, she hopes to invite people of all ages to step into their inherent musicality and to experience the joy of singing, both individually and in community.

Megan is a multifaceted New Orleans-based performer, creator, caregiver, and community organizer. At a young age, her parents first introduced her to music through their church congregation and musical neighborhood. Every Sunday meant gospel music in the mornings and bluegrass jams at night. At 17, she began working with children as a helper at an in-home daycare. Her love of singing, acting, and storytelling made working with kids fun and rewarding, and she went on to study Early Childhood Education. Over the years, Megan has worked with children in many capacities, including in a two-year-old classroom, as a summer camp counselor, and as a personal nanny. Her primary creative passion is singing. Whether it's funk, soul, or jazz, she digs into the music and sings from the heart. Recently, she has returned to her love of theater. Last winter, she wrote, produced, and puppeteered a full-length musical comedy to raise toys for underprivileged children. She is very excited to begin teaching, playing, and learning with the kids and families of The Music Class.
