There aren’t too many hard and fast rules when it comes to singing. Most singers can feel and hear their problem spots. “If your voice feels good and sounds good, it probably is good. If it feels bad and sounds good, something is wrong,” says Jeannette LoVetri, director of The Voice Workshop in New York City.
As a voice instructor for more than 35 years, LoVetri knows a thing or two about getting the most out of your voice. Similar to musicians who play instruments, singers must make sure their technique is correct to avoid injury. “If you can’t make yourself sound good and feel good, go get help from a skilled singer or teacher,” says LoVetri. “If that doesn’t help, seek out an otolaryngologist or throat specialist and get examined right away. Vocal problems that are ignored can lead to serious issues down the road, both vocal and in general health.” Read the full article here!

Joett Jazz Concerts to Stream Online via US-based StageIt
It's official, I'm back on the jazz concert circuit! And after my Melmoz Jazz Bar event November 28th, I've made a decision that from hereon out, I will stage my jazz concerts on the internet for the north American audience exclusively, via StageIt, to whom I've been signed for a couple of years now, but haven't as yet staged a show on the site.
What this means is this. My jazz concerts will be staged at a local Dar es salaam venue but not for the local public. Concerts will not be advertised and promoted to the local market for turning up at the venue. Yes, I will invite guests, friends and fans to attend the live broadcast at the venue--and entrance will be free (NO cover charge whatsoever), but the thrust behind this concept is to put the show online exclusively.
Using a Facebook app, concerts can be streamed LIVE on Facebook. So yes, you'll be able to watch the show and to interact with it on Facebook from anywhere in the world INCLUDING Tanzania. Which means you don't have to dress up to get there; to contend with traffic to get there; none of that. You can watch the entire concert on Facebook on your computer or mobile phone.
STAGEIT PRESS AS SEEN IN
Forbes: "The roster of musicians has swelled with the likes of aging stars (Bonnie Raitt, Rick Springfield, Jackson Browne) and newer faces like Jason Mraz and Pomplamoose."
Time: "Stageit is a promising new revenue source in an industry that has been bleeding money for more than a decade."
TechCrunch: ". . . artists need to use digital venues like Stageit to rebuild their intimacy with their audience."
Mashable: "Stageit solves a problem unique to the music industry and does so very well."
Entrepreneur: "Stageit is becoming a must-have commerce tool for music entrepreneurs."
Billboard: "Stageit is a potentially disruptive company with a very interesting model."
LA Times: "...see your favorite acts in concert without ever leaving your home, let alone changing out of your pajamas."
So please standby for dates to my very first StageIt concert coming up real soon.
Thanks for dropping by my blog,

Joett to Perform LIVE at Melmoz Jazz Bar
PUBLISHED IN BUSINESS TIMES 22/11/2013 == Joett rarely makes public appearances. The last time he gave a series of jazz concerts at Harbor View Suites Hotel’s Boodles Jazz & Blues Bar, Movenpick Hotel and Sweet Eazy was back in early 2011. After a two-year hiatus, this sensational jazz singer for contemporary times is well and truly back and takes to the stage November 28th at Melmoz Jazz Bar on Avocado Road near Kawe Golf Course, with groovy jazz music permeating the entire venue from 6pm, and then Joett is to perform live at 9pm.
Joett’s repertoire will include classics from jazz legends Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklyn, Andy Williams, Barbra Streisand, George Benson, Luther Vandross, Isley Brothers, Julie London, Burt Bacharach, Michael Buble, Dean Martin to name but a few.
Setting the tone for more jazz events to come, the Color Me Beautiful star, former Times 100.5 FM Boogie presenter and renowned vocal coach is sponsored by Business Times, Majira, SPOTIstarehe and Advertising Dar. For more information, updates and links to Facebook and Twitter, visit his blog at www.joettmusic.com

Joett to Perform LIVE at Melmoz Jazz Bar 28th November 2013
Finally, my first public appearance in two years rolls out at Melmoz Jazz Bar on November 28th 2013. I've had to shave two feet off my stage and backdrop prop to squeeze my set into the bar, can you believe it? But what I like about it is, in that process I'd had a rethink as regards the stage itself...to have it split in two so it could be easily transported. So thanks to Melmoz Jazz Bar, I now have an even better outfit. More efficient.
The evening will kickoff at 6pm. That's when I take over the bar. All the music in there will be from my very own collection imported from Jazz FM London especially. Once you guys have settled down, I will go up on stage and give you a live performance with classics from all of my favorite greats: Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Luther Vandross, George Benson, Julie London, Burt Bacharach, Michael Buble, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklyn, Barbra Streisand, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Gladys Knight and MORE. I really look forward to this. I've prepared long and hard to give you the best jazz performance possible.
Please share this blog post, and I shall hope to see you VERY soon.

Sundowner Jazz & Groove with Joett LIVE
I've wanted to return to the stage for quite a while now. My last jazz performances were in 2011. And so, after a two-year hiatus, it's good to be back! This time around I've actually built a stage complete with stage props from my Color Me Beautiful video set. You're going to love the colors. I also designed and commissioned an iron smith to build a stool (yes, for ME). Really refreshing this.
Now let me fill you in on the concept behind this new jazz theme. I wanted to create a jazz evening set against a backdrop of top quality Jazz FM London playlists (and I've actually imported compilation albums from the Jazz FM London store especially). Jazz and soul music will set the tone for the entire evening so to speak; and then there will be the LIVE performances by myself and my VERY SPECIAL GUESTS (including dancers from the TV series TIKISA) for about an hour during the course of the evening. I will sing classics from Luther Vandross, George Benson, Shirley Bassey, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick, Julie London, Barbra Streisand and much much more.
I'm negotiating a deal to go into residency at a certain venue in town once a week (details coming SOON), and then my crew and I will also be doing the rounds with one-off performances around town INCLUDING private and corporate functions. To book my jazz experience, please get in touch with me directly.
I'm truly excited about this entertainment concept, and I really look forward to seeing you guys soon.

How to Adapt Joett's Booster Program to Speech Level Singing Scales
For those of you who've purchased my Learn to Sing with Joett vocal training Booster Program CD, you will be familiar with the vowels Arpeggio exercises on track 6; Octave exercises on track 7; Chromatic Scale exercises on track 8; and Descending Scales on track 9. Now, to adapt Speech Level Singing exercises to the same scales, simply replace the vowels with a hum (Mmm). Yes, you heard that right! With your mouth closed and only breathing in BEFORE each note, humming induces the head voice and helps connect your chest voice to your head voice in a seamless link through your bridges or blend area. Give this a try, you'll love it AND you will get RESULTS. There are so many different exercises you can adapt to my Learn to Sing CD. I plan to continue publishing these ideas right here on my blog. So stay tuned!

How to Shock Yourself Into Improving Your Singing Voice
On occasion, if needs be... just to drive a point across, I would record my pupils as they sing "badly". I call it the-shock-treatment or the-wake-up-call. And trust me, it works everytime. You see, you could do the scales all you want, but at the end of the day, you're going to have to SING. And that means delivering a good, clean, solid, professional-sounding vocal the listener will love and respect you for. And it's all in the scales when you do them correctly and transfer the techniques you learn to songs you want to sing. It really isn't rocket science. And so when I've tried everything and I'm still not getting through to you, I would resort to shocking you into, quite literally, hating your voice. Once you absolutely DON'T like what you hear, I mean really really DON'T like it, chances are you will make a decision AND a concerted effort to do something about it.
And this applies to ANYONE out there. Record your voice on your mobile phone and if you don't like what you here, listen to it over and over again until you practically HATE what you hear. And that should compel you to do something about it. If you're voice training already, this time you'll take it MORE seriously!

Private Vocal Training Programs at Joett Voice Studio Dar es salaam
I run seven different vocal training programs… Level 1, Level 2, Intermediate, Advanced, Pro, Pro 2, Pro Club... plus a Booster Program AND Speech Level Singing into your Head Voice thrown into the mix in every level.
With each program I will put you through sixty-minute vocal exercises to help improve your range, pitch accuracy, flexibility, and the quality of your voice through proper breathing and vocal technique. After five sessions I will start to include what I call jam sessions… that’s where we get to work with cover songs (or songs you OR I have written) in order to apply what you’ve learned to song. This element of your training is a lot of fun… as you get to sing some GREAT songs! Each program is ten hours (spread over ten lessons).
You’re welcome to make an appointment [whenever you’re ready] to come over and see me for a free 30-minute voice assessment. I’ll listen to you sing; show you how I work; and run you through a quick breathing exercise and the scales on piano, to see where you’re at vocally. And we’ll take it from there.
BOOK ONE HOUR TRIAL SESSION: Private lessons in my studio run for a full hour. If you’re training from home, however, I would strongly recommend that once you get a little more proficient with training on your own, try to gun for a one hour session with me in my studio. And if that becomes a bit of a challenge for you, try to do a vocal workout for at least 20 minutes over the phone with me and perhaps gradually build on that. You will improve your voice, no doubt.
And this is why I created the once off one hour private vocal training session you can purchase to help you get started—just with the once off session—in my studio. My fee is Tshs 31,000. And a doable AND affordable progression to this is the 20 Minute Vocal Training Phone-In system.
VOCAL TRAINING BY PHONE: If you cannot imagine dragging yourself through traffic to get to singing lessons, then this article will outline a simple yet very effective way for you to get all the vocal training you need over the telephone to a vocal coach, with the same personal touch you can expect in a private studio session with a teacher. For details on this, read my article Singing Lessons Made Easy Over the Phone – Only Takes 20 Minutes!
I’m based in Oysterbay, Dar es salaam. My studio is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. I do 30-minute voice assessments any day of the week by appointment. You'll need to call me to book.

Learn Speech Level Singing into Your Head Voice with Joett
I've covered speech-level singing in my private-lessons training
programs, but of late, I have added a more intensive and extensive speech-level singing vocal
exercises regime to ALL the programs from Beginners 1 to Pro Club. What
this really means is, every student that walks into my studio right now
gets a full hour of Speech Level Singing exercises regardless of what
program they're on. And the results? Well, if they couldn't quite hit
the mark with a song they'd been working on, suddenly they CAN! It's
that good. It's INSTANT.
Most singers use excessive muscular effort when they sing. Muscles the body normally uses to chew and swallow food, as well as open the throat wider when it needs to get oxygen into the lungs quickly, are used to manipulate the larynx—forcing it up or down. This is done to accomplish a difficult pitch, increase intensity, or "improve" the quality of one's tone. We call these muscles the outer muscles, because they are located outside the larynx.
Whenever you use your outer muscles to control your voice in any way, however, you prevent the free vibration of your vocal cords inside your larynx, and alter the relationship (and the over-all condition) of the resonance spaces above your larynx. The result is a labored and unbalanced sound.
Only when your larynx is in a relaxed, stable position can your vocal cords adjust easily with your breath flow, to create the pitch and intensity of your initial tone. And, only when your larynx is in a relaxed, stable position will your final tone contain a balance of top, middle, and bottom harmonic qualities—like a good stereo system—so you never sound "muddy" on low notes or "splatty" on high ones.
Yet, there's another important reason why your larynx must be kept free of outer-muscle interference. Many of these muscles are involved in the production of speech sounds, and their interference in the tone-making process inevitably disrupts the word-making process as well. It's hard to form vowels and make consonants when the muscles controlling the movement of your tongue and jaw, for instance, are also trying to control your tone. Hence, voice production using the muscles outside your larynx is a hopeless battle in which both your tone and your words become the casualties.
Generally, when you speak in a quiet, comfortable manner, your outer level— muscles do not interfere with the functioning of your larynx. That's because a foundation for tone is not your primary concern—communication is. Therefore, your lar-vocal freedom-ynx is allowed to rest in a relatively stable, or what we call a speech-level, position. This is the ideal vocal condition or posture with which to sing.
If you can learn to initiate and maintain your tone with this comfortable speech-level posture when you sing, you can sing with the same easily produced voice you use—or should be using— when you speak. Nothing will feel any different in your throat or mouth. Both your tone and words will feel natural and sound natural.
But be careful! Speech-level singing doesn't mean "sing like you speak!"

Daft Punk Disco Track Get Lucky Tops Charts Around the World
Last week, the dynamic duo posted the year's second-biggest debut, moving an impressive 339,000 copies of RAM to claim their first-ever #1 album in the U.S. This week, that number wasn't quite as high, but it was enough to easily outpace Alice In Chains' The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, which opens at #2 with sales of more than 61,000 copies.
"Get Lucky" is a song by French house music duo Daft Punk, co-written by and featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers (I'm a HUGE fan of Nile Rogers 70s disco group Chic). It is the lead single from Daft Punk's fourth studio album Random Access Memories. Before its release as a single, "Get Lucky" was featured in television advertisements broadcast during Saturday Night Live, after which Rodgers and Pharrell announced their involvement in the track. Small excerpts also appear throughout the promotional video series The Collaborators.
Musically, "Get Lucky" is a disco and funk song while lyrically, according to Pharrell Williams, the song is about the fortune of finding chemistry with someone and not just about sexual chemistry. Following a leak days earlier, the single was released as a digital download on 19 April 2013. "Get Lucky" has since received acclaim from critics and was commercially successful, reaching the top ten in the music charts of over 28 countries.
In France, "Get Lucky" debuted at number one on the French Singles Chart on 24 April 2013, becoming the duo's first chart-topping single in their home country since "One More Time". The song sold 38,887 copies in three days, making "Get Lucky" the best-selling digital single in a one-week period. In Belgium, where two independent official charts are published weekly (one for Flanders, one for Wallonia), "Get Lucky" entered in the top position on both charts, making it Daft Punk's highest Belgian chart entry ever and their first No. 1 song in the country.
In the United Kingdom, "Get Lucky" entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 3 on 21 April 2013― only 48 hours after its release—selling more than 50,000 copies; the song became Daft Punk's first top ten hit in the country since "One More Time" in 2000. The song then peaked at No. 1 the following week, with sales of over 155,000 copies, and became Daft Punk's first ever No. 1 single in Britain. The song remained in the top position during the following week and sales reached 163,000. "Get Lucky" remained atop the chart for a fourth consecutive week and once again sold over 100,000 copies; as of 19 May 2013, over 600,000 copies of the song were sold in just over four weeks. According to a report from the Official Charts Company on 22 May 2013, sales of "Get Lucky" are higher than those of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop", making it the country's best-selling single of the year thus far. On 27 June, the Official Charts Company announced that "Get Lucky" had sold over a million copies in the UK; only the 136th single and first released in 2013 to do so. The song is the first involving Daft Punk, Pharrell or Nile Rodgers to achieve this feat as well as being the second by a French act (after David Guetta's "Titanium"). Both Martin Talbot, Chief Executive of the Official Charts Company and Rodgers were impressed by the quick time (69 days) the single took to cross the million sales barrier.

Singing Lessons: Focus On Improving What You Already Have
This article is going to be a pretty twisted article in that, although it is intended to motivate you, it may well do quite the opposite. When you're potentially a good singer, with training, you could improve on that and the sky truly is the limit. However, when your singing ability is average--like I've seen so many in my line of work--you can only develop and improve your voice from that point on, but mind you, you will have limitations. The trick is to accept it and to work with what you've got within the boundaries of your ability. Nothing more, nothing less! Don't try to be what you can't be. But instead, design your musical works to suit your style and ability. Don't even attempt to go beyond that. It'll only lead to anger, disenchantment and frustration. There's nothing wrong with pushing the envelope but KNOW your limitations.
I've watched aspiring singers pop into my studio for singing lessons over the years, and I've seen firsthand how working with what you've got is the best approach. Not everybody can be the best in the world. There's no such thing. Ever! But you can do it your own unique way, and do it properly, AND get away with it. Now with that in mind, I'm going to suggest a few simple tricks that can, if you exercise a lot of patience and perseverance, improve your voice beyond what you know to be the limit of your ability. Try listening to good music! Seriously, this may sound a little patronizing but it CAN do wonders for your voice. Allow good music with great vocals to surround your home. Put the music on very low volume when you go to bed and let that whisk you into the depths of sleep. Your subconscious mind will pick up the music while you sleep, and with time, you may become the singer you want to be by simply listening to great music in your sleep. And if you combine this with a proper vocal training program by day, you will tremendously improve your singing voice. Of that I am certain.
I'll tell you an interesting story. I've got a young student whom, when I first heard him sing I thought, for crying out loud this dude is good! He sounded amazing. Yes, he needed training, and he knew that he did, but then he already had a natural talent. When I dug deep into his past, I discovered that his dad had been a DJ in the 1980s and that when the kid was growing up, not only did his dad play music from the 80s, 70s and 60s around the house, the boy went to bed with the music playing in his bedroom throughout the night on low volume. Henceforth, the music and singing style became him. That was the foundation that this lad had had from a very early age. The bottom line is, if you listen to good music (AND you have a bit of talent), you will become it. You see, the truth is, you are the instrument! If you listen to the pros, you too can become LIKE the pros. The way I see it, we humans were on this planet first, and then we invented the musical instruments.

Sing to Piano Chord Progressions to Develop Your Own Unique Style
Singing is great fun...when you have melody and are able to work with piano chord progressions as you hear them. It's about feeling the music and letting yourself go. I've added an additional training program to my private lessons at my voice studio in Oysterbay, so that you can do just that. There are country, jazz, pop, R&B, blues and generic demos you'll have a chance to sing along to, and then there will be the solo segments where it's just YOUR voice and the piano. And what I like about this is that there are no lyrics. So it's really up to you whether you choose to hum or whatever. And there is no language barrier with this one either. If you're only comfortable with Kiswahili, then that's OK. These exercises have no particular language. Anything goes. I'm really very excited about this new program which, like the Learn to Sing with Joett Booster Program, will fit into ANY of my seven programs: Beginners 1, Beginners 2, Intermediate, Advanced, Pro, Pro2 and Pro Club.
Hope to see you soon!
