Music making software?

Can anyone advise on software for me to buy for my son, he's 11yrs old plays piano and drums, I would like something for him to create music on the PC, like mixing sounds etc., (I dont know much about it!) I've heard of fruity loops but isnt this american? does anyone know anything about Magix music maker which I've seen? I dont want anything too complicated either, although he does pick things up quickly on PC.

Any advice would be appreciated.

get him magix music maker first cause its cheap,like 20$ it has different things that u can do like mix sounds and it can do wot some expensive software can do.and if hes new this is perfect for newbies.would u spend 100$ plus on software that he knows nothing bout or spend 20$ that he can learn what and how to do mixes and that.then if hes good then shell out for the top stuff
dance ejays kwl and fun to use!! u can put loadsa different stuf on it or make ur own!
I started out by using ejay (go to www.ejay.co.uk) It's the best software to use if you're just starting out and for a basic software there's loads you can do. It comes in all genres from Dance to Hip Hop and you can even buy sample CD's with more sounds. I haven't used it in a while but when I was you could even add your own sounds from your computer. I enjoyed it, so I think he might as well if he's into his music =)
try "fruity loops" its a very nice software
I think ejay is good but I can't help u with it cause i just found it out and i'm not responsible for anythinf bcuz u say its for your son anyways find out more of it on - www.ejay.com

and ENJOY..............!!!!!!!!!!!
