The students of Musicology Academy take the Showlounge Stage for a recital built around theme songs and music from film, television, and theater. Under the direction of Jannette—a Los Angeles-born performer with credits spanning television, film, and major Las Vegas stages including MGM Grand and Caesars Palace—these young musicians and performers present what they've been rehearsing. The academy recently earned recognition as Best Music Studio in Henderson, and Jannette brings her background as a professional voice and piano instructor to the teaching approach.
This third showcase in the series centers on the connection between music and visual storytelling, with students performing pieces tied to the screen and stage. The performances blend music, dance, and theatrical elements, all unified by the theme songs and memorable scores that define movies and shows. The intimate setting of the Showlounge Stage creates a closer connection between performers and audience than you'd find in a large auditorium—you're watching these developing artists work through their pieces in a space where every detail comes through. It's a recital with a cohesive narrative thread, showcasing how these students interpret music that spans different cultures and genres while staying true to the lights-camera-music concept.
