15	!!This show contains examples of the following tropes:
16	* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Mel, who plays the drums.
17	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Mel, Jack's dog, is colored purple with green stripes.
18	* AnAesop: The "I'm Not Perfect" song from "Space Opera" delivers the message that no one is perfect, but our imperfections make us unique.
19	* CartoonCreature: It's unknown just what Jack and Mary even ''are.'' They could be mice-like creatures, but it's never addressed in the show proper.
20	* CharacterCatchphrase:
21	** Whenever a guest visits the clubhouse, Jack and Mary will sing "Come in~!".
22	** Jack's most common one is "What in the name of la-dee-dah was ''that?''"
23	* CouchGag: Every variation of the ThemeTune opens with Jack's mother hurrying Jack to get to one of his classes. Let's just say he takes a ''lot'' of them.
24	* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The ThemeTune is performed by Jack, Mary, and Mel.
25	* EdutainmentShow: The show teaches kids about various styles of music, and what you can do/make with it.
26	* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: Jack takes many classes, as evident from each episode's CouchGag.
27	* FakeInteractivity: While not as frequent in comparison to other children's shows, Jack still occasionally talks to the audience as demonstrated in the ThemeTune.

29	* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Jack and Mary can understand Mel even though all he does is bark.
30	* NoFourthWall: Jack regularly talks to the audience.
31	* SesameStreetCred: This happens OnceAnEpisode, akin to similar shows such as ''Series/YoGabbaGabba''. One of the most notable is Creator/JonStewart, whose son loves this show.
32	* ShortRunners: The series only had 26 episodes.
33	* ShoutOut: Jack, Mary, Mel, and the Schwartzman Quartet get their names from characters from ''The Jack Benny Program'' (Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Mel Blanc, and the Sportsmen Quartet).
34	* TakeYourTime: Although Jack doesn't "have much time" before he has to leave for his lessons, he still spends a lot of time (approximately half an hour, judging by the runtime of each episode) in the clubhouse.
35	* TeamPet: Mel, who is Jack and Mary's pet dog.
36	* ThemeTuneRollCall: Jack introduces his friends Mary and Mel, as well as himself, in the ThemeTune.
37	* TheVoice: Jack's mom is heard telling him to hurry up for whatever lesson/class he's having at the start of every episode.
38	* TitleThemeTune: "It's time to get started... it's ''Jack's Big Music Show!''"
39	* WrapUpSong: Each episode ends with a goodbye song, which is a variant of the ThemeTune.
