About:
Tom Pompei began his musical journey at the age of 12 when he played electric guitar with various punk and pop-punk bands in middle and high school. In high school he joined the drum line and his foundation and love of the drums blossomed.
He attended UMass Lowell studying in their Music Performance program before transferring to the Berklee Affiliated school Holland College in Prince Edward Island, Canada. There he studied under Alan Dowling and performed at almost every venue in Charlottetown, playing a diverse variety of genres.
His teaching career began in 2020 through producing online lessons on YouTube. He discovered a passion for teaching which he eventually transitioned to in-person lessons at various studios across Massachusetts.
In his lessons, Tom puts an emphasis on having fun and having his students play and learn their favorite songs. He enjoys seeing his students express their creative freedom on the drum set as “music is all about expression.”
