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 overview
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
Raine Stern provided vocal coaching to Austin, guiding him to strengthen his chest voice and improve breath control. During their lesson, Austin practiced various exercises and began applying the concepts to the song "Fly Me to the Moon." For homework, Raine assigned him to continue practicing the song, focusing on memorization and transposing it to find the optimal key for his voice.

Raine Stern provided a guitar lesson to a Northwood resident, focusing on improving their strumming technique and introducing new chords. They analyzed the individual's current playing style, discussed pick placement and wrist motion, and began learning "Sweet Home Alabama."

Raine Stern provided a guitar lesson to Mackenzie, concentrating on the song "Sailor." During their time together, Mackenzie honed her skills in strumming patterns, hammer-ons, and smooth chord transitions, particularly from G to C. Raine also offered practical advice, suggesting a switch to regular Slinky strings and an adjustment to the guitar's bridge to resolve tuning issues. Additionally, Raine offered to send a video demonstrating hammer-ons within the song's chords and proposed future lessons covering bar chords.

Raine Stern tutored Asher Weinberger on guitar, focusing their lesson on the song 'Dust in the Wind.' They worked on both strumming and fingerpicking techniques, with Asher practicing chord transitions and rhythm. The two also discussed Asher's preferred learning style, planning future lessons to emphasize auditory learning through 'repeat after me' exercises. Additionally, they explored scheduling in-person lessons and a potential connection through shared cultural backgrounds.
