Dewey Largo, is the music teacher whom Lisa credited with proving that any piece of music could have the soul sucked out of it. He is very counter-creative and is a poor conductor.

Biography

As a child, Largo was accepted to the Juilliard School of Music, but never got the letter as it was frozen atop Mount Springfield. His assumed rejection from this school could explain his eventual lack of passion for music.

Mr. Largo is the music teacher at Springfield Elementary School. He is one of the more uptight and mean teachers at the school. Largo teaches Lisa's band class where he often stifles her creativity. He only teaches simple, boring and unoriginal songs to the band causing Lisa to often cause outbursts in class^[1]. Once, Mr. Largo had to take over for Groundskeeper Willie for a short time while Willie was working at The Gilded Truffle. He turned out to be even worse at being groundskeeper than music teacher.^[2] He wanted to have a sex change operation to look like Julie Newmar, but is accidentaly mixed with Moe's surgery file, which makes him smaller.

Production and Behind the Scenes

His last name is also an Italian word for a slow, broad musical tempo, a possible reference to the fact that he can make any piece of music uninteresting.

Largo is voiced by Harry Shearer and was once voted the worst character created.
