Jazz Ensembles I and II ∙ 100 Years of John Coltrane

The Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program celebrates jazz legend and High Point native John Coltrane with a semester-long tribute beginning with Jazz Ensembles I and II. Under the direction of Chad Eby and Steve Haines, these outstanding student artists showcase the legacy of one of the most influential figures in jazz history.

The Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program at UNCG is a unique and innovative undergraduate jazz program designed to emulate the traditional process of learning jazz, through a combination of mentorship, real-world playing experiences, and a communal approach to learning. Although the program is housed in one of the largest music schools in the Southeast, it is kept intentionally small, resulting in an intensive and highly personalized learning environment.

 UNCG offers the following degree programs for students interested in studying Jazz:

• Bachelor of Music (B.M.) – Performance
• Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Jazz Studies
