Your teen has more going on inside them than they know how to say.

Music gives them a way to say it.

Let's Talk

They're smart. They're capable. And they're carrying more than they let on.

Some shut down completely. Others can't stop talking — just not to you.

Either way, something's building inside them that needs somewhere safe to go.

That's where singing and songwriting come in.

When your teen writes a lyric, they name what's actually happening inside them.

When they sing it — even just in a room with one other person — something shifts that's very hard to un-shift.

This isn't therapy. It isn't music lessons. It's a new way through.

A young person who is stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed cannot learn effectively. Cannot function effectively. Cannot communicate effectively. Not because they're not capable. Because they're surviving. Music is what I reach for first. Not as a break from the work — as the work itself. 20 years of teaching and coaching taught me that. My own life confirmed it.

By age 12 I'd had 24 surgeries. Ten on my brain. I was born with hydrocephalus — and I grew up in Raglan surrounded by musicians who had no idea they were saving my life. Music was how I learned to develop. To express myself. To get through it. That's not just a backstory. That's the whole reason I do this work. 🎤

Ten brain surgeries. Being unhoused. Stealing toilet paper from public bathrooms. Different experiences. Same feeling on the inside. We have this tendency — especially in Western society — to compare our pain. To rank it. To decide whose struggle counts more. That comparison serves nobody. Your experience is valid because you lived it. That's it.

Tell yourself you're nervous — you stay nervous. Tell yourself you're excited — your body follows. The words you use to talk to yourself are literally instructions to your nervous system. So choose them on purpose. 🎤 What's your I am statement? Drop it below. 👇

This is for your teen if they:

Feel more than they can express

Shut down when things get hard

Struggle with anxiety or overwhelm

Shut down when things get hard Are high-achieving but running on empty

Love music — or have never tried it

No singing experience needed. No performance pressure. Just a safe space to figure out what they're carrying — and turn it into something.

This isn't just coaching.

Feel more than they can express
Your teen records them professionally.
our teen performs them — for real.

But here's what they're actually building:

Confidence.

The kind that shows up in classrooms, friendships, and hard conversations.

Communication.

The ability to name what they're feeling — and say it out loud.

Clarity.

A clearer sense of who they are and what they actually think and feel.

I don't just coach. I open doors.

When my students are ready, I bring them into my world — onto real stages, into real studios, alongside a real artist who’s been doing this for over 20 years.

Willa and Caitlyn came to me navigating anxiety and big emotions. They came to sing. What they got was confidence, communication skills, and a moment on the Kennedy Center stage performing alongside me.

Sydney came as a teenager with high anxiety and a head full of feelings she couldn't express. Seven months later she had written and recorded an entire album. She's now studying under Sir Paul McCartney at LIPA.

This is what's possible when someone believes in your teen before your teen believes in themselves.

Here's exactly what you get.

The outcomes are real.

For your teen:

  • More confidence. Less shutdown.
  • Healthier ways to handle stress and anxiety
  • A clearer sense of who they are
  • Original songs and recordings they own

For adults:

  • A real outlet that actually works
  • Stronger communication between you

  • Peace of mind

This is not about becoming a pop star.
It's about becoming more fully yourself.
The songs are just proof that you did it.

The person behind the work.

I’m Emma G — 2x TEDx speaker, Amazon #1 bestselling author, and X Factor NZ Top 6 finalist.

But that’s not why parents bring their teens to me.

I grew up between New Zealand and Fiji — never quite fitting in. I was bullied. I lost friends to suicide. I battled depression. I survived 24 surgeries — ten of them on my brain.

I was also a teenager before social media existed. I know what it feels like to struggle without a screen to hide behind.

Music was my somewhere safe. It saved my life. I’ve spent 20 years making sure other people have access to the same tool.

From local classrooms to international stages — this work meets people where they are and helps them reconnect with who they are.

What's possible in 7 months.

At 17, Sydney Witt started working with Emma G with no recording experience and a journal full of feelings she didn’t know how to express.

Seven months later she had written and recorded an entire album which helped with her academic resume` as she was accepted into the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, working directly with Sir Paul McCartney [The Beatles].

Her first single: Intrusive Thoughts.

“What she got from Emma was permission to be her full empowered self, live into her dreams, and take inspired action.”

— Melinda Wittstock, Sydney’s mother

“My 11 year old has been taking lessons with Emma for a couple of years now. We take our classes virtually with her. At first, I had my doubts whether this would work but Emma knows how to get an 11 year old excited about singing through the screen! my daughter has been thriving and improving, she does all the exercises Emma recommends and practices her singing everyday in the shower!! And she looks forward to her lessons every week. Emma is technically strong, and challenges my daughter while keeping it all fun.”
Raha S, parent.
“Emma G was a joy to have in the classroom. She connected with students in a way that not everyone can, and it was amazing to see. Her presence brought energy and encouragement, creating a space where students felt seen, heard, and inspired. She had students fully engaged, not just participating, but growing. Emma instilled courage in them so they weren’t scared to step out of their comfort zones—and the impact was clear. It was a 10/10 experience having her with us.”
David Stanton, MCPS
“Emma has been working with my daughter to help her find her voice both as a singer and a songwriter. My daughter has been dealing with changes and grieving some losses and was stuck in the kind of headspace that is unique to teens. Emma has been able to connect with my kid and get her to start reframing her story into one of empowerment. My daughter returns from her sessions with Emma lighter and happier. Emma's energy is amazing and it is hard to feel anything other than connected and excited after spending time around her, I highly recommend Emma's one-on-one services!”
15year old student from an online class in Seattle.

“I believe every school in this country should be using music and creativity to support the mental health of its students. Until that day comes — this is my version of making it happen, one young person at a time.”
