About your music teacher

Hey, I'm Raine, I teach music production with a focus on creativity, clarity, and confidence. Whether you’re brand new to Logic Pro or a songwriter wanting to shape your own demos, I offer artist-first coaching that meets you where you are. I’ve worked with musicians from early studio days to national tours, across genres like rock, R&B, pop, hip-hop, and more. I’m especially passionate about helping beginners and women feel empowered, safe, and independent in the production space. I’ve vocal coached artists in-studio, solved issues other engineers missed, and earned trust from Grammy-winning pros for my ear. But most importantly—I care. I listen deeply, keep things real (never harsh), and help you build both skill and self-trust. Sessions are fully tailored to you and your goals. As an artist myself, I get it. Let’s make your ideas sound like you.

Music lessons at a glance

My approach to teaching music production is built on celebration, trust, and curiosity. I check in regularly with my students, not just about their technical progress but about how they're feeling—because the best music comes when you feel safe enough to push past your perceived limitations. My students open up with me easily, and that openness often leads to breakthrough moments, both creatively and personally. Nearly everyone I’ve worked with has told me I’m a natural teacher—and it’s clear I love it. I’m a total nerd about both the big picture and the fine details. Want to understand not just how to use EQ, but why it works the way it does? Or what compression really means? I’ve explained these concepts in a way that even my completely non-musical mom found fascinating—and understood. That said, feeling comes first. I’ll teach you how to trust your ears and your heart. Thinking is important—but overthinking can get in the way of making great music. I’m not here to produce your music for you. I’m here to help you become confident, independent, and inspired—someone who can take a raw idea and bring it to life without getting stuck. I organize notes and materials into a shared Google Drive folder after each lesson, so you always have a record of what we covered. In our first session, I typically walk you through how to route audio from your DAW into Google Meet or Zoom—because I know how annoying that tech setup can be when you’re just getting started. And finally—I don’t gatekeep. I’m plugged into the music industry and always on the hunt for great tools, plug-ins, and resources. If I find a free synth or a good deal on a plug-in, I’ll share it. I'm not here just to teach or to make money—I’m here to see you win.

Music concept taught by Raine

During a guitar lesson, Raine Stern instructed Anna Florczak on various guitar techniques, including hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and power chords, all applied to "Carry on My Wayward Son." Anna dedicated time to practicing these skills and began exploring a new riff section of the song. To further develop her dexterity and readiness for full chords, Raine assigned Anna practice on bar chords and finger exercises.

Raine conducted a lesson with Loretta, concentrating on refining her bass guitar technique through a rhythmic pattern from "You Make My Dreams Come True." Loretta diligently practiced finger placement, right-hand muting, and timing exercises to enhance her playing. Raine advised her to practice the rhythm slowly with a metronome and to focus on relaxing her hands to prevent tension.

Raine guided an individual from Fresno's vibrant Tower District through guitar playing, specifically focusing on the verse section of a song and a particular strumming pattern (down, down, up, up, down, up). The learner dedicated time to practicing this strumming pattern. They scheduled another lesson to continue working on the verse for "Dust in the Wind," and Raine suggested reviewing the intro and strumming patterns before the next lesson.

Raine and Mackenzie dedicated their guitar lesson to learning bar chords, applying them to a simplified version of Jeff Buckley's 'Lover, You Should Have Come Over.' Mackenzie focused on practicing B minor, E major, and E minor bar chord shapes, as well as simplified C# minor, F#, and G6 chords from the song. Raine will send a video of herself playing the chords to assist Mackenzie with her practice.

Raine guided a dedicated learner from California State University, Fresno, through various guitar techniques. The lesson focused on alternate picking, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides, emphasizing the improvement of finger strength and hand positioning. This individual also gained proficiency in the pentatonic scale, learning how to apply it creatively to construct melodies while practicing the newly acquired techniques. For continued development, Raine will provide a video and directions, uploading them to the learner's drive folder.
