Portraying a compassionate feeling

Interesting. I should start working with software too. what programs do you recommend?

FL Studio if you'd like to get your feet wet and try something for free.

If you like to write sheet music, then try Finale's products like Finale Notepad, which have some free demos.

If you end up liking FL Studio and want a ton more bells and whistles try Ableton's demos. If you have a student email, you can get a nice discount for a full version, but it's still very expensive. Ableton's demos aren't nearly as nice as FL Studio because they lack the nice sound packs and such that make it shine.

Audacity is great for sound engineering, and is totally free.

Garage band is for recording your real instruments, and I believe is free. It's great for mixing instruments together and it's what my friends primarily use when recording themselves playing as a band.

Ableton and FL Studio allow you to record your instruments, but GarageBand is built for that alone. I believe Finale can try to listen to you play an instrument and automatically transpose the music into sheet music for you. It only exports to midi files if I recall correctly.
