What age group are we talking about? What kind of music? Conventional? |
| 8 |
MIDI? Weird electronic? |

I don't think there's anything in Portage as user-friendly as, say, |
| 11 |
Garage Band. |

In any event, there's quite a bit of music software in Portage, but a |
| 14 |
lot of it is quite detailed, special purpose, and has a pretty steep |
| 15 |
learning curve. There are probably some simple things in the educational |
| 16 |
piece of KDE, but I think for someone young, you'd be better off with a |
| 17 |
commercial package on Windows or Macintosh than subjecting them to open |
| 18 |
source hackery. Unless, of course, that's exactly the kind of musician |
| 19 |
they want to be. :) |

And it's exactly the kind of musician I am. :) |
