what ever style you do, there are guidelines that needs to be followed to be part of a style. now its good to understand them in order to be able to break them. Cause you don't want to do the same stuff everybody does. But as a beginner you shouldn't worry about it.
My advice to you is go to http://www.reasonstation.net/ and download some songs choose one you like and try to copy it. Select one that doen't need any extra refill apart from the factory sb.
You probably will not manage to make the same track ,but you will learn a lot from it. this is an exercise nothing more, but i garantee you will understand a lot of concepts in a shorter timeframe . The things you should pay attention to are :
-The structure is important and probably the most difficult thing to learn.
-the way synth are programmed.
you need to reverse engineer all of them .lets say you opened a song and you are copying a bass made with the subtractor, when you are done, verify that the bass playing with its respective midi file sounds about the same. you then need to stop there (don't forget to save) and start moving the knob around to see what they do and slowly go back to the the basic patch. then reload the basic patch and rebuild the bass this time without looking to the original synth. this way you understand how you got there.
-look at the way the midi file interact with their respective sounds.
Now this is just to get you started, the rest will come with experience and dedication...
So good luck and enjoy yourself !
