The UNCG School of Music has been recognized for years as one of the elite music
institutions in the United States. Fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of
Music since 1938, the School offers the only comprehensive music program from
undergraduate through doctoral study in both performance and music education in North
Carolina. From a total population of approximately 12,700 university students, the UNCG
School of Music serves over 575 music majors with a full-time faculty and staff of sixty. As
such, the UNCG School of Music ranks among the largest Schools of Music in the South.
The UNCG School of Music now occupies a new 26 million dollar music building which is
among the finest music facilities in the nation. In fact, the new music building is the largest
academic building on the UNCG Campus. A large music library with state-of-the-art
playback, study and research facilities houses all music reference materials. Greatly
expanded classroom, studio, practice room, and rehearsal hall spaces are key components
of the new structure. Two new recital halls, a large computer lab, a psycho-acoustics lab,
electronic music labs, and recording studio space are additional features of the new facility.
In addition, an enclosed multi-level parking deck adjoins the new music building to serve
students, faculty and concert patrons.
Living in the artistically thriving Greensboro—Winston-Salem—High Point “Triad” area,
students enjoy regular opportunities to attend and perform in concerts sponsored by such
organizations as the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, the Greensboro Opera Company,
and the Eastern Music Festival. In addition, UNCG students interact first-hand with some
of the world’s major artists who frequently schedule informal discussions, open rehearsals,
and master classes at UNCG.
Costs of attending public universities in North Carolina, both for in-state and out-of-state
students, represent a truly exceptional value in higher education.

The UNCG Jazz Ensemble is the flagship of the Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program. It was
founded in 1967 and has been featured in concerts throughout the United States, on radio,
and television. The ensemble is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students who
are interested in making jazz a major part of their musical training. The ensemble performs
UNCG student arrangements and compositions, as well as published charts. Jazz
performers who have performed with the UNCG Jazz Ensemble include Clark Terry, Marian
McPartland, Chris Murrell, Eddie Daniels, Marvin Stamm, Billy Taylor, and Jim Snidero.
The ensemble performed at the Count Basie Jazz Festival in Carnegie Hall in 1991,
marking the first time a university music ensemble from North Carolina performed in
Carnegie Hall. This past spring, the UNCG Ensemble released its fourth Compact Disc,
Stronger than Dirt.
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Miles Davis Program in Jazz Studies
offers the student a variety of opportunities to perform and study jazz. Most recently,
saxophonist Kenny Garrett, bassist Christian McBride, and master pedagogue/pianist Mark
Levine performed and offered clinics. Two large jazz ensembles, several small jazz
combos and supportive courses in jazz theory, improvisation, arranging, composition,
history, appreciation and pedagogy provide ample room for growth and lead to the Bachelor
of Music in Jazz Studies.
