Just to add a bit, more in the music programming side, FWIW, there's Sonic
PI:

https://duckduckgo.com/lite/sonic+pi+children
Although I think it's better tinkering and experimenting, touch and feel
and hear, as it's already said.
Sonic Pi looks fun! I'll have to give that a try, thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
@Ralf I halfway agree that you can learn the basics of more
fully-featured
software by fiddling around. I also think that "babyish"
music software can be a lot of fun, and there is nothing wrong with a child
using it. I definitely plan on steering my 2 boys towards the powerful
programs (that I think are really fun), but if they have tons of fun making
cheesy little ditties with toy software (like I did when I was young), then
I'm all for it.

I assume that the 10 year old child isn't retarded, so the best thing
IMO is to really learn how to make music, instead of using babyish music
software. Learning without teaching is possible, just by fiddling
around. A short explanation how to use Qtractor or a simple MIDI app,
adding a virtual keyboard or a real MIDI keyboard, using fluidsynth or
similar shouldn't expect too much of a 10 year old, even when there's
not much interest, just a little bit fiddling around is wanted. Reading
documentations isn't needed, I'm a dyslexic, so I know whereof I speak.
Btw. I worked a lot with children around that age, my last job working
with those children was from beginning of this year until the the
beginning of this month (school hols).
2 Cents,
Ralf
