About this opportunity:

Earn a Performance Certificate or Artist Diploma - Online in 14 Weeks

A Boot Camp-Style Program for Deep Focus, Real Progress, and Audition Success

Most music programs keep students busy, not productive—you’re constantly juggling rehearsals, classes, and performances, leaving no time to actually improve. At Opus Colorado College of Music, we take a different approach.


Our state-authorized 14-week program is designed for real progress, giving you the time, structure, and expert guidance to make meaningful breakthroughs in your playing. Upon completion, you’ll earn a Performance Certificate or Artist Diploma—backed by focused training, injury prevention, and top faculty mentorship.



What Makes Opus Colorado Different?

Train with Faculty from Top U.S. Music Schools & Major Orchestras


Our faculty are active performers with major orchestras and hold teaching positions at top-ranked U.S. music institutions. You’ll receive one-on-one mentorship tailored to your audition and career goals.




Neuroplasticity Training for Smarter, More Efficient Practice


Using cutting-edge brain training techniques, you’ll learn how to:


  • Overcome performance anxiety and play with confidence

  • Maximize focus for faster progress in less time

  • Train smarter, not harder, so your practice actually leads to improvement


Work with Our In-House Personal Trainer & Licensed Nutritionist


Technique alone isn’t enough—you need physical endurance to sustain a long career. Our in-house expert helps you:


  • Reduce inflammation for better stamina and recovery

  • Play with more energy and speed by optimizing movement

  • Prevent injuries so you can practice more and stress less

  • Build lifelong habits that support peak performance


Audition-Ready Viola Program (For Advanced Violinists Only)


Looking to expand your audition opportunities? Our Viola Boot Camp will prepare you to perform:

  • A concerto exposition

  • Two Bach audition pieces

  • Key orchestral excerpts


Why Opus Colorado Stands Out

Unlike typical summer camps or short-term programs, students earn diplomas and certificates from a college institution, providing them with an official credential that can be valuable for college admissions and job applications.


Our program is designed as a boot camp for accelerated growth. By focusing on deep, intentional practice, we help students achieve dramatic improvement in less time. With the right methods, growth becomes easier and faster, leading to more meaningful development both musically and personally.


We emphasize physiology and fitness, working with a licensed personal trainer to improve stamina and mental clarity, allowing students to practice longer and more effectively. This gives our students a unique advantage, setting them apart by increasing focus, reducing injury risk, and enhancing performance endurance.


Program Focus


Our programs are tailored for:

  • Musicians ages 16 and older

  • Current college students
