OPUS partners with music teachers to motivate students, elevate performance, and celebrate artistic growth from the state level to the national stage. By providing professional adjudication, meaningful recognition, and a clear pathway from State Competition to OPUS Nationals, we help students reach their highest potential.
For reference and inspiration – not a required repertoire list. OPUS currently places no repertoire limitations on State Competition entries. Students should choose music that best represents their artistry and fits the time limit for their age category.

Teachers Make The Difference
Teachers are at the heart of every student’s musical journey. Their guidance, encouragement, and commitment help young musicians build confidence, refine their artistry, and develop the discipline needed to reach new goals. OPUS is proud to support that work by providing students with meaningful opportunities to perform, receive professional feedback, earn recognition, and advance from the State Competition to OPUS Nationals.
I just received a packet containing the beautiful winner’s certificate and judges’ comments – thank you! Please pass it on to the Jury members that I am very grateful for their extensive and helpful comments. This makes it a learning experience, not just an event. The comments are priceless, and I will discuss them with my instructor. Thank you very much for such a great platform for young musicians to share their abilities.
