¿Cómo manejas los conflictos relacionados con la dirección artística y las diferencias de visión dentro de tu ensamble vocal?

🎤 Navigating Artistic Direction and Vision Differences in Vocal Ensembles 🎶 As voice teachers, how do we handle conflicts related to artistic direction and vision differences within our vocal ensembles? 1️⃣ Respect Leadership: Recognize that the Artistic Director holds their position for a reason. Their vision guides the ensemble. 2️⃣ Open Communication: Encourage honest discussions about differing opinions, ensuring everyone feels heard. 3️⃣ Collaborative Spirit: Foster a collaborative environment where creative ideas can merge harmoniously. 4️⃣ Student Focus: Always prioritize the growth and well-being of our students, ensuring conflicts don’t hinder their progress.

Good sound in a vocal ensemble begins, not with sound, but a consistent approach to vowel work. If your ensemble is to sound its best they have to match vowels. Next is the ability to communicate ideas through the words given. Of course, pitch and listening to each other is very important. Yet, the mission is to help people to hear through clear vowel work. To bring the people to the message. The sound will be there if that is accomplished.

Democracy doesn't work in artistic projects for me. I'm open to suggestions, but in the end I'm the one that makes the dicisions.

We listen to people and we consider their thoughts. Sometimes we might just like their ideas. Other times we might be able to articulate why our ideas are important to us. Sometimes we might find that one part isn't as important to us and a compromise that pleases all is fine. If someone makes a suggestion, I say, "sure. Let's try it!" We might all like it better, or we might all say, "ew, no. Let's do it the other way." Art is fluid.

We do make sure everyone can express their opinions openly and respectfully, and we have an agreement that every opinion is explained well, not just based on personal feelings (“because I feel/think/want so”), hence we start with “why”. We also try out different ideas to see what works best. Although I as a leader make the final decision, I ensure that everyone largely agrees with it to maintain harmony in the group.

Everyone's input is important and there should be a constant reminder that all members are valuable and their participation is what keeps the team running

One very important aspects of the discussion has been omitted. There are always parameters when referring important subjects of interests such as vocal ensembles. Is it a conservatory of music ensemble? A privately sponsored or funded ensemble? Or is it a group of friends initiative? Now, I can respond according to the context of an existing vocal ensemble. 1- A conservatory of music vocal ensemble member must abide to all the rules set by the institution. The instructor vets those who will have a specific part and candid conversations occur individually and as a group 2- A privately sponsored group also has its rules of engagements but is stringent than their conservatory of music counterparts. 3- This is the most flexible of all 3

Developing a strong relationship with your group is helpful in resolving conflicts. If you know the people around you well, conflicts and even misunderstandings can easily be solved.
