I've tried my hand at composing some things musical over the last few years. You can hear my five attempts at music at iCompositions. I have a 49 key USB keyboard and Garageband. My favorite (and most complicated piece) is called From Behind The World. I hope you like flutes. I am unskilled musically, so it is very difficult for me to improve things beyond a certain point. I certainly find mixing very hard.

It's interesting what Garageband has done. It's reinvigorated many, many people who have dabbled in music but never had the barrier to entry lowered far enough for them. If there is one word that sums up Apple's business philosophy, it is Passion. Find something that people care about passionately and sell them things that feed that passion. Music. Composing. Running. Coding. Photography. Movies. Writing. Teaching. Remove barriers and noise. Let me focus.
