fully-featured software by fiddling around. I also think that "babyish"
music software can be a lot of fun, and there is nothing wrong with a child
using it. I definitely plan on steering my 2 boys towards the powerful
programs (that I think are really fun), but if they have tons of fun making
cheesy little ditties with toy software (like I did when I was young), then
I'm all for it.

Just to add a bit, more in the music programming side, FWIW, there's Sonic
PI:

Although I think it's better tinkering and experimenting, touch and feel
and hear, as it's already said.
