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 concepts taught by Raine
The Student and Tutor worked on refining guitar techniques, including improving chord change fluidity and practicing specific strumming patterns for a song. They also focused on bar chord transitions and explored a fingerpicking pattern for "Creep" by Radiohead, discussing techniques for smooth wrist movement and efficient finger placement. No specific homework was assigned, but the Tutor provided a link to the "Creep" tabs for continued practice.
Applying Bar Chords & Picking Patterns (via "Creep")
Bar Chord Fundamentals & Smooth Sliding Techniques
Rhythm Internalization Through Vocalization
Mastering Strumming Mechanics & Wrist Flexibility
Efficient Chord Transition Techniques
The Student and Tutor worked on bass guitar technique, addressing challenges with pinky strength and right-hand coordination. They practiced an "eyes-closed" exercise to develop a deeper sensory connection with the instrument and began learning the bassline for "Another One Bites the Dust." Discussions also covered proper instrument ergonomics and the introduction of a major scale, with a recommendation for the Student to practice humming while playing.
Multisensory Practice: Eyes Closed Technique
Left Hand Finger Strength & Support
Internalizing Melodies Through Humming & Playing
Learning Iconic Riffs & The Major Scale
Right Hand Muting & Rhythmic Definition
Bass Ergonomics for Comfort & Performance
Student and Tutor focused on advanced guitar techniques, including speed exercises, string muting, and various pick attack methods. They practiced pentatonic scale runs, triplets, and explored diminished chord movements with a metronome. The Tutor assigned practice on these exercises and planned to review the Student's song list for future lessons.

Student and Tutor worked on developing advanced guitar bending techniques, focusing on proper hand positioning and multi-finger application for controlled pitch. They practiced integrating bends into musical riffs and explored combining bends with tapping and hammering-on. The session concluded with the Student applying these techniques during an improvisation session over an E minor backing track.
Advanced Technique: Bend Taps
Incorporating Bends into Riffs & Scales
Muting Adjacent Strings for Clean Bends
Target Pitch Bending & Ear Training
Optimal Hand Position for Guitar Bends
The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced specific guitar chords (C# minor, G# minor) and a complex strumming pattern for a song intro. They also briefly touched upon saxophone technique, with the Student demonstrating their ability to produce sounds on the instrument. The session concluded with plans to continue music study as needed.
Barre Chords: C# Minor and G# Minor
Guitar Tuning and String Maintenance
Basic Strumming Patterns
Introduction to Wind Instruments: Saxophone
The tutor and student explored the mathematical and structural connections between chords and scales on the guitar, focusing on transforming chords into arpeggios and understanding scale relationships across the fretboard. They practiced applying these concepts to create melodic lines and develop a holistic view of the guitar neck for improvisation. Future sessions will involve applying these concepts to other keys and scales.
