Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh. 

I think the problem you're facing is caused because you are being taught compositions ie notations of shabads on there own. You need to learn how to sing properly and learn raag etc. not just the standalone composition. I would strongly recommend finding a knowledgeable teacher or possibly speaking to your current ustad ji regarding your concerns and see what they can do.
