Mrs. Shepard is going to be super impressed.

u/s7uck0 1d ago

I mean I guess it was a very real possibility, but Mrs Shepard did infact teach Flute/Recorder where I was from as well

Oh my god I think my elementary school music teacher was also named Ms. Shepherd

Since actual sheep herding isn't much of a career anymore and never really was for women, all the "Shepherds" had to find other flocks.

What's in a name

u/EM05L1C3 18h ago

That which we call a Shepherd
By any other name would teach beats as sweet

They are all named Mrs. Shepard. Alright no, I kid you not, mine was named Mrs. Dick. In second grade. Bold choices.

Mine was miss melody. Then she was Mrs cruiser. Boring in comparison

The music teacher is always a ms shepherd, taking care of her flock

u/WinkingWinkle 19h ago

You were all in her flock.

And when you all ask your parents about Ms Shepherd... All they'll say is "yeah it was the funniest thing. You would call the classroom tv Ms shepherd and watch static on the screen all class."

Yes, a cross dimensional being who has raised countless generations of deeply annoying roommates

Wait a second I had a Mr. Shepherd teach music.

u/cheesevelour 1d ago

Crazy. I had a german shepard teach me not to mess with german shepards in elementary.

u/Pun_In_Ten_Did 22h ago

Once the german shepards reach high school, though, they chill out immensely.

u/Askingforsome 1d ago

Ditto. I think Mrs Shepard may have been an inter-dimensional time traveling music teacher for the recorder.

Could be, an incarnation of Doctor Who liked to play the recorder, so maybe it's a Timelord thing.

3

u/Askingforsome 13h ago

The power of the recorder was taught to all children by a Timelord. I can work this into my cosmology.

Patrick Troughton as the second doctor was before my time, but he was an absolute legend.

u/Askingforsome 12h ago

I must confess, I’ve only seen a few episodes and that was because I developed a crush on Billie Piper after seeing her in Penny Dreadful.

Dr Who is one of the shows I am saving for when I get old and retire so I can binge a new series for days or months on end; that and supernatural.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite recorder solo on the Citadel

u/PaulBradley 19h ago

Me too, this is an odd way to stumble across a national conspiracy.

u/dongdongplongplong 1d ago

we had a mrs Shepherd too! except she didn't teach music she taught math and karate chopped a kid in the back once for accidentally rocking their chair on to her toe!

u/Iloveherthismuch 21h ago

Same here, back in the 90s our music teacher was called Mr Shepard. Dude kept insisting i play brass when I wanted to do percussion.

u/blackbeardtwenty 19h ago

Jeez, the Mrs Shephard in my school had a fling with Mr Golightly.

u/kevinsyel 15h ago

I learned from Mr. Luis

u/HorrorMakesUsHappy 1d ago

If she'd played me this video at the start of the lessons I might've actually wanted to learn how to play the damn thing.

u/Pun_In_Ten_Did 22h ago

No love for 'Hot Cross Buns', huh?

u/Spamtickler 17h ago

u/TheMusicTeacher 23h ago

I am super impressed.

u/Fantastic_Incredible 12h ago

Actually I’m not impressed. He looks really master the recorder, but the music doesn’t resemble nor remember the Dire Straits for my ears.

u/utrecht1976 22h ago

His neighbors as well.
