Honors High School Jazz Band and Jazz Ensemble I

The Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program presents the 27th Annual Honors High School Jazz Band, November 21–22, 2026. The two-day event consists of big band rehearsals, clinics, and improvisation master classes, and concludes with a performance by the Honors Band and the UNCG Jazz Ensemble I directed by Steve Haines.

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
