Learning how to play the piano was the greatest thing in the world, because I used it to make money, and play for the church. I played for different wine-and-cheese parties, and then the next thing you know I got a classical-piano scholarship in San Diego at International University. To me, that was the key. Some people play football, basketball, which I did do those things, but I wasn''t big enough to take it to the next level. By having music, it really helped me to get going. Throughout my career, it has really been a beacon of keeping me afloat. To now have a Grammy, and things like that you know that music will work.\"\u003cbr/\u003e10. Medium of Dominic Monaghan talking to reporters \u003cbr/\u003e11. SOUNDBITE (English) Dominic Monaghan/Actor on his arts education:\u003cbr/\u003e\"I was extremely interested in plays and theater when I was a kid. When I was 7, I played Joseph in ''Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'' in school. Quite a few of the teachers said, ''Oh he''s good, he kind of likes it, he knows what he''s doing,'' to my parents. From then on, I was just full on. I did ''Oliver Twist,'' I did ''Bugsy Malone,'' I did ''Wizard of Oz,'' I did ''Scrooge.'' I was very keen on impressing on my friends, my peers, that doing plays, and doing drama was kind of cool. I always thought that they missed a trick because so many of the guys that I knew didn''t do plays, they all played football, which I did as well. But I was like, ''Guys, we are going to get an opportunity to hang out with like 40 girls outside of school hours when everyone else has gone home. It just seemed like a really cool thing to do. You are on stage and all your friends are doing it. For me, it was just completely immersive, by the time I was like 9 or 10.\"\u003cbr/\u003e12. Closeup of still photographer\u003cbr/\u003e13. SOUNDBITE (English) Dominic Monaghan/Actor on returning to ''Lost'':\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think the final season of ''Lost'' they are going to bring back a lot of people. I was just one of those people that they brought back. It''s a character that people really seem to enjoy, and want to see again. I got the opportunity to be kind of a game changer in season six, so that''s about as much as I can tell you.\"\u003cbr/\u003e14. Closeup of videographer\u003cbr/\u003eOscar and Grammy winner Jamie Foxx says music got him where he is today. \u003cbr/\u003eHe encouraged the next generation of musicians to pursue their passion Tuesday at Walt Disney Concert Hall, where Foxx helped present $500,000 in new violins, flutes, French horns, trumpets and drums to students from 16 high schools nationwide. \u003cbr/\u003e\"At five years old, my grandmother had me playing a piano,\" Foxx said. \"Learning how to play the piano was the greatest thing in the world, because I used it to make money, and play for the church. I played for different wine-and-cheese parties, and then the next thing you know I got a classical-piano scholarship in San Diego at International University. To me, that was the key.

The four-year-old program provides instruments, specialized training and a chance to perform with renowned orchestras, such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Boston Pops. \u003cbr/\u003eActor Dominic Monaghan hosted Tuesday''s program, in which students in Boston, Houston, Chicago and Los Angeles performed and received donated instruments.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I was extremely interested in plays and theater when I was a kid,\" Monaghan recalled.
