From a young age, Poole showed a keen interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of four. He was a prodigious talent and quickly became known for his exceptional musical abilities. Poole attended the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied under some of the most renowned classical musicians of the time. He excelled in his studies and was soon recognized as one of the most promising young musicians of his generation. In 1995, Poole made his debut performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London, where he played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5. The performance was a resounding success, and Poole was hailed as a rising star in the classical music world.
