About Mrs. Hayek

Mrs. Lindsey Hayek

Hello!  My name is Lindsey Hayek, and I love all things musical.  My husband, Andy, and I live in Winston-Salem, NC with our dogs Roy and Carly.  Andy is a physical therapist with Baptist Hospital (Outpatient Clinic) and I am a middle school chorus teacher at Oak Grove Middle School in Davidson County.  We moved to Winston-Salem in August of 2015 and we LOVE it here!  We love exploring Winston-Salem and the beautiful nature surrounding this area.  I look forward to sharing my love of music with students! 

My Musical Background

According to my parents, I began singing as soon as I could talk!  I grew up Raleigh, NC and was fortunate to have parents that exposed me to music and musical opportunities as a child.  We were always going to musicals and singing Disney songs. 

I was blessed with wonderful music teachers, which is a huge part of why I am a teacher today. I began taking piano lessons in 4th grade, and continued through my junior year of college.  My piano teacher encouraged me to accompany and perform elsewhere-- I accompanied some of my middle school choir concert in 8th grade!  By the end of high school, I was playing for weddings.  When my piano teacher was on maternity leave, I took over some of her younger students and began teaching lessons.  In college, I taught a few private piano lessons as well as accompanied non-major vocalists.  I am very thankful for my piano training and skills; not only is it very enjoyable, but it has been a very useful in other aspects of my musical learning.

I started singing in choirs in 5th grade, and haven't stopped!  When I was in high school, I began taking private voice lessons, and also have not stopped.  I fell in love with singing, and was a voice major at UNC-Chapel Hill.  I love all aspects of singing--performing, learning, and teaching.  I am classically trained, but enjoy singing a variety of music.  I also love choral music--there is something so special about making music as a group!

I love teaching so much, I decided to earn my Master's in the Art of Teaching at UNC-Chapel Hill and absolutely love sharing my love for music with students.  I have all levels of music (K-12) in public schools.  I am currently a middle school chorus/general music teacher at Oak Grove Middle Schol in Davidson County. I was Greene County Teacher of the Year for 2014-2015 and also earned my National Board Certification for music.  

I hope that I can learn, teach, accompany, and perform in the Winston-Salem area.  Let me know how I can share my love of music with you!
