try fruity loops and make tracks with samples and loops. To make music you have to understand it. From now on, when you listen to music, think about every part of it i.e the bass, the kicks, the drums, hi hats, melody etc. Once you do this, you'll find making music a lot easier. Also, a lot of dance music is heavily modified, by this I mean if you have just a piano, it will sound rather plain. Add some reverb, some delay, some filters etc and you can make amazing sound. The song I'm in the middle of atm sounded a bit plain until I added some reverb to the kick AND BAMN!! Awesome kick Hope this helps, and welcome the forums!!
