    i had that with a student.. I’ve been teaching her for like 2 years she still won’t sing in chest I’ve tried a few things i guess i sort of gave up in the end lol she did her grade1 and they picked up on it and mentioned in her feedback her chest voice was weak.. but over time her voice has developed around her head voice and it has got stronger.. i cant deny her voice does sound lovely and unique.. for her grade 3 i chose songs that complement this type of voice more.. i did do speech level and shouting with her but i just think some people genuinely think it “sounds better” in head voice and even though her confidence is built now with her performing and i think actually she probably knows how to use her chest voice fair play to her she resisted me constantly moaning and telling her to sing in chest i dunno.. just try and find a balance i would say based on my experience if that helps at all lol
