MUSE SCORE is a great, free piece of composition software with a vibrant learning community. Using notation software is an awesome, creative and fun way to really learn how music works.
There are lots of good tutorials on youtube. Here are some links to a couple of tutorials that I think are fairly easy to follow, and will give you a good understanding of how to use the programme.
