    The goal is always student success. In vocal coaching, different teaching styles can either complement or confuse students. If a co-instructor’s approach disrupts learning, I handle it with alignment, not confrontation: I assess if our methods support or contradict each other. If students struggle to transition between styles, we need better coordination. Instead of pointing fingers, I use “I” statements:“I’ve noticed students get confused when techniques shift. How can we create more consistency?” If needed, we divide responsibilities: one focuses on technique, the other on performance. This way, we enhance, rather than overshadow, each other.

    Ao longo da minha carreira, ajudei a desenvolver diversos profissionais e a construir conexões estratégicas. Parcerias bem-sucedidas exigem comunicação clara e alinhamento de expectativas. Quando surge um desafio, prefiro resolver com um diálogo direto e construtivo. Conversas abertas fortalecem relações e criam oportunidades para crescer juntos.

    Clear communication is key. Approach your co-instructor professionally and express your concerns constructively. Highlight specific aspects of vocal coaching where you see differences in technique, pedagogy, or student progress. Frame it as a discussion rather than criticism—focus on aligning teaching methods for consistency. If necessary, suggest a collaborative approach, such as co-evaluating students or refining the curriculum together. Ensuring mutual respect and shared goals will help maintain a productive teaching environment without conflict.
