Jacie Lee Glenn is a passionate pianist, dedicated educator, researcher, and performer with over 15 years of teaching experience. She creates innovative and supportive learning environments that inspire students of all ages and backgrounds to develop a lifelong love of music. In addition to managing her own piano studio, Jacie taught private and group piano lessons at Brigham Young University for three years as a graduate assistant, and taught at Slope School as one of their founding music teachers. After graduating with her Master’s Degree in Piano Performance from Brigham Young University, Jacie was hired as Adjunct Piano Faculty at BYU’s Music Summer Festival in 2026.

Recognized as an emerging authoritative voice in Persian piano repertoire and performance practice, Jacie has presented on innovative teaching strategies, technology integration, and her research into Iranian piano music at major conferences including the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) National Conference, the Utah Music Teachers Association State Conference, the College Music Society Northwest Chapter Regional Conference, and the MTNA National Collegiate Symposium. She was invited to give a lecture-recital titled “Unveiling the Persian Piano: Discovering Iran’s Overlooked Piano Repertoire” at the Royal Opera House in Muscat, Oman, and to perform a concert of contemporary Persian piano works in Qatar in April 2026; the engagements were unfortunately cancelled due to regional conflicts. She continues to deepen her research on this repertoire and is actively preparing scholarly publications to share Iran’s piano heritage with the global music.

As a performer, Jacie has shared her artistry through televised appearances on BYU TV, including a solo performance of her original hymn arrangement and another for BYU’s sesquicentennial celebration. She gave the American premiere of Iranian composer Afshin Jaberi’s Piano Sonata No. 1 “The Seeker,” and participated in the world premiere of Sofia Sergei’s Fragments of Movement and Sound, performing one movement in a collaborative multi-pianist concert. These experiences, alongside her conference lecture-recitals, enrich her teaching and deepen her commitment to bringing lesser-known piano repertoire to life for her students.
