there is plany out there surff the web a littele read reviews and try out what you feel most comfterble with to work.
it important for you to see the intrface of the soft before start using it.
so psystream i could tell you to start off with FL Studio its for sure will give the basices of the right structure (8 bars/16 bars).
you see how to make patterns add some effects and alot more. its a great software for beginers because of the easy way of it writing down your music BUT (and it a big but). its only a STAGE before you moving on to work on more professional software (hosts like Cubase or logic).
fruity realy has friendly and easy-to-use inrface but it has realy poor sound engine if you thinking of serious music making it would'nt provide the tools you need.
an other thing the way of using VSTi's and writing notes is a bit confusing from one software and an other (in our case fruity and cubase/logic) but you'll get use to it.
and i can wish you luck with making music and one last advice:
BE YOU DONT AFRAID OF SHOWING YOUR STYLE AND HOW YOU THINK THE WAY SHOULD BE!

Another good program to start learning with is Reason. Reason simulates an actual hardware studio, letting you add devices and (if you want) play with the actual wiring between devices. It's designed for the beginner with the focus on getting sounds as quickly as possible.
I liked learning in Reason because it gave a good impression of what a studio is like, with different devices to accomplish different tasks (synths vs samplers vs reverb, etc) as well as helping me to learn how to start thinking about the 'effects' chain. The visual representation of the different devices helped me remember what was what when I suddenly had to learn what synthesizers and samplers and reverbs and phasers and delays and choruses and compressors and drum machines (etc) are.
Reason was great for learning about sequencers and automation and send vs insert effects and on and on.
Plus you can get VERY nice sound out of Reason - I still use it for a lot of my percussion.
It really doesn't matter what you start on, imo, it's just a matter of time and effort until you get where you need to be.
