I'm trying to figure out how to get some music on my iPhone SE from my Macbook.
I have the music on my Macbook drive and I can listen to it in iTunes. How can I sync it with my iPhone and make it available on iPhone even when connected to internet or to my mac?
Two software options (for both Mac and Windows). Both turn your work computer into an Airplay destination, so you can stream audio directly from your iPhone to your computer. This lets you play music from your iPhone without worrying about syncing, copying songs, etc.
On the Mac, there's the open source app called Airmac. And on Windows, you can try the application Shairport. Both do the same thing, and turn your computer into an Airplay destination.
Once you have turned on one of these apps, start playing a song from your iPhone. If everything is on the same network, you should see the Airplay icon (shown here in the lower right, the rectangle + triangle). Tap that, you should see your computer listed, tap that, and then your phone will stream the iTunes audio to your computer.
Note: This is all done on a Mac. Just look up the PC equivalent of the following steps if required.
How to recover past information:
Option 1 - Restore iPhone 4 directly from old computer:
Option 2 - Copy iPhone 4 backup from old computer, and place on new computer to recover:
On the old computer, go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, and copy the most recent backup of the iPhone 4 and transfer it to the new computer.
Connect iPhone 4 to old computer, open iTunes, put the iPhone in DFU mode, (while holding alt/option key) select Restore after iTunes has detected the iPhone 4 in recovery mode, and select the most recent backup of that iPhone 4.
How to create the ability to sync all purchased/future purchases of music and apps:
Open iTunes.
Sign out any pre-existing AppleID/iTunes Account once iTunes loads.
Sign into desired account of individual (your relative's I'm assuming).
In iTunes, select Store -> Authorize This Computer...
Rejoice!
Have your relative use iCloud for backup to make life easier in the future.
Let me know if you have any more questions, or need any futher explanation. Enjoy!

you connect your iPhone to iTunes and Sync :) Start iTunes, connect iPhone via USB cable to USB on your computer, when your phone (after few confirmations on phone) appears in iTunes click on it. Then on the right side select Music, check Sync music and choose what you want to sync.
