That is a very common request by teachers, actually it involves two
different
things, a physiological request (raise the soft palate) which is crucial for
high notes
and an imagery request (send the air through the nose). This is because in
the male
voice the high notes when properly sang produce some vibrations in the area
of the nose.
So, while it is imposible to send air through the nose with the soft palate
up, it is not an
absolutely unreasonable request.
