I don’t want to debate whether the instruction was the right one for you. I think its been mentioned that good teachers use a variety of images to help students achieve greater ease and fluency in their playing. Out of context these may not seem good but they can work. They also don’t necessarily represent what is really happening, but a more a means to realise an invisible action.

Ultimately you have to be willing to accept a teachers ideas initially and ask questions if them if you have doubts. Sometimes the act of learning takes time and a little faith.

With all this said, your previous teachers advice in regards to loud playing is a bit silly. Yes, loud playing can be ugly/coarse, but absolutely not always. But we need dynamic range in our playing, not just sitting pleasantly in the middle
