I'm going out on a limb here, but it could just be that your teacher isn't
used to a tone coming out of chest in a connected way. He/she associates a
voice that can do this as being all chest when in fact the voice may be
entering a mix much higher than he/she is used to hearing. This a real
typical response by a teacher who is used to hearing a voice only produced
with a low mix, or no mix at all in that head is being brought down
abnormally low. To a teacher like this, he/she would listen to Streisand
sing and think that's all chest. Ask your teacher what he/she thinks of a
singer like Streisand or Natalie Cole and how they produce their voice. I
think the answer will give you great isnsight as to how he/she perceives
vocal production and the role of head and chest in that production.
