That ought to get you started. I took lessons for 9 years when I was a kid, played keyboard in my Junior High-school's Jazz-Rock Band (which led to me being personally introduced to the great Dizzy Gillespie just months before he died). In high school I didn't do anything musical, but for more than three years in college I was on-air talent doing top-40 radio. I eventually did some voiceovers and even was the on-camera pitchman for a store I co-owned (what better way to save on a spokesperson than to use the talent you already have for free?). We shot a second commercial for a completely separate type of store we owned and we realized we had no music to go underneath both my the person on-camera's voices. A little playing around at home and the day we did post-production, I pulled my keyboard in and did the song right in the studio.
I guess you could say a jingle I wrote was not only performed by me--and used in a TV spot, but hundreds of thousands of people saw it. Pretty neat for 8 years of lessons, though I think that it could have been done when I was in Junior High School learning improvisation.
Good luck!
