There's a free and very unique program (at least unique to me) out on the market called hyperscore. It's a school project for a couple of MIT students written for children. What's nice about this program is how it lets you compose music without knowing anything about music. You put together several little musical themes and then you paint these all together adjusting the pitch, length, volume etc... The last part is to select an auto harmonizing method. The music can actually sound good! As of yet the program doesn't save in a usable format and I don't think you can change instruments. But it is a kids program afterall.
Anyhow, it might give people some good ideas to work off of.
