Performance

You can find Haijin Choi's performances from the Grand Rapids Symphony, the Chamber Music Festival of Saugatuck in summer, the Sunday Classical Concert Series for Grand Rapids Art Museum, a bi-annual house concert and private events. I have orchestrated a chamber music series at Fredrik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park the summer of 2020

Education

I believe music is a form of language we can express ourselves. Reading music is like reading a piece of literature. From there, we learn the meaning of the piece and express what/how we feel through playing instruments or singing.

For beginners, my goal is teaching proper setup and building solid foundation in rhythm, listening and reading. They are always encouraged to phrase to understand basic structure.

For intermediate and advanced students, I guide them to imagine the music they want to play and walk with them to make the imagination come true. Scales and etudes are necessary to make that happen. In the process, students will be asked many questions to think critically for themselves.

Perfection is not our goal, but aiming for perfection without giving up is.
