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 14,000 university students, the UNCG School of
Music serves nearly 600 music majors with a full-time faculty and staff of more
than 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 second-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 psychoacoustics lab, electronic music
labs, and recording studio space are additional features of the new facility. In
addition, an enclosed multi-level parking deck is adjacent to 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 jazz studies majors and undergraduate and graduate
students who are jazz studies majors, or majors who are making jazz a part of their musical
training. The ensemble performs UNCG student arrangements and compositions, as well as
published charts. Musicians who have performed with the UNCG Jazz Ensemble include Clark
Terry, Marian McPartland, Chris Murrell, Eddie Daniels, Joe Henson, Marvin Stamm, Billy Taylor,
Dick Oatts, Ed Neumeister, and Byron Stripling. 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. The Jazz Ensemble played at the Kennedy Center's
Millenium Stage, and at the Regent University Performance Arts Center in Virginia Beach, VA, for
the world-premiere of the musical Ella: The Life and Music of Ella Fitzgerald.
Every year, the jazz ensemble produces a Compact Disc, which feature both published music,
and music written by UNCG students. This studio experience is extremely valuable to the
students because it prepares them for future studio work. These recording have received 5 star
reviews and are commonly heard on NPR radio. The Compact Discs released to date are
Collaboration, One Finger Snap, and Stronger than Dirt, Back to Basie (featuring Count Basie
Alumni Fred Wesley and Chris Murrell), and Honestly. Last spring, the ensemble performed with
the legendary Dewey Redman, featuring music by Dewey, arranged and orchestrated by UNCG
students. This album will be available in October.
Steve Haines is currently the Director of the Miles Davis Program in Jazz Studies at the
