OK, Classically trained tenors use a mix between head and chest voice when
sining in the upper passagio. Your 16 year old sounds like he could be a
tenor or a lyric baritone. When I was 16 My range was the same as his... A
to F# G ish. When he is about 18 it will start to mature.. I have some
exercises which may help him find his upper notes.

He's 16. Perhaps my question should have been, how
will I know his voice has finished changing?
Right now his lowest note is A2 (a tenth below middle
C), and his highest note is debatable. He vocalized up
to F5 (octave and a half above middle C) in our
lesson, but unless he decides to be a countertenor, he
won't be using that kind of tone to sing with much.
Where does the passagio between chest and head
normally occur for men? And does it work the same as
it does for women? Are (classically trained) men
supposed to sing mostly in chest? Or do tenors do the
same thing sopranos do?
