Jack’s Big Music Show, a 13-episode live-action series for preschoolers, will premiere on both Nick Jr. and NOGGIN on Monday, September 12 at 11:30 a.m. ET/PT. Jack's Big Music Show will air regularly on NOGGIN every day, Monday through Sunday beginning Tuesday, September 13 at 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET.

"Jack's Big Music Show" Overview

Produced by Spiffy Pictures for NOGGIN, the show will be hosted by Jack, a preschooler puppet and his melodious cast of friends who play everyday at Jack’s clubhouse. Jack’s Big Music Show is a new platform for kids’ music and will feature videos and live, in-studio performances by popular children’s musicians who visit the clubhouse every week.

Each episode of Jack’s Big Music Show will feature a music video performance by acclaimed children’s recording artist Laurie Berkner, whose videos have been featured on NOGGIN for the past year. Additional musicians featured in the series include Hot Peas and Butter and Music for Aardvarks.

On Jack’s Big Music Show, Jack takes a break everyday from his busy kid schedule to visit his favorite place in the world -- his backyard clubhouse. Here he can do what he loves best -- create and enjoy music, sing, dance and have a musical ball with his friend Mary, his faithful dog Mel and all of his other neighborhood pals who stop by. Anything can happen in Jack’s clubhouse, as it’s an extension of both Jack and Mary -- focused and goofy, adventurous and safe, with a fresh and original way of looking at and hearing things. You never know when a baby bongo bird or The King of Swing may unexpectedly visit the clubhouse, or an entire show might be sung in a silly opera style!

"Jack's Big Music Show" Educational Focus

The mission of Jack’s Big Music Show is to expose and foster an appreciation of music in young children. Music, and musical instruments, help children expand their universe and develop memory, language, literacy and reasoning skills as well as the cognitive, social and motor skills that are needed to excel in school. In Jack’s clubhouse, music is pure joy -- no expectations and no right or wrong way.
