Welcome to the musical world of Elliott Stilwell, a passionate jazz pianist, dedicated educator, and versatile music professional based in the heart of Southwest Florida. With deep roots in the regional music scene, Elliott brings the timeless elegance of jazz to Naples, Fort Myers, Ave Maria, and beyond.
Elliott’s musical journey is built on rigorous training and diverse performance experience. He has shared his talent with premier regional ensembles, including the Global Jazz Workshop, FMEA All State Jazz Ensemble, the Naples Philharmonic Youth Chamber Orchestra, and the Naples Philharmionic Youth Jazz orchestras. As a pianist, his style blends classic jazz traditions with a modern, engaging energy that elevates any room.
Driven by a belief that anyone can learn to love and play music, Elliott is the founder and operator of The Flying Keys (and the Flying Keys Trio). Through this venture, he serves dual passions:

- Piano Instruction: Offering personalized piano lessons to students of all ages and skill levels, helping them unlock their creative potential.
Beyond the keyboard, Elliott is a dedicated advocate for the music community. He is the creator and host of the “Out and About” interview series, where he sits down with world class artists, such as acclaimed jazz vocalist Veronica Swift, Russel Hall, and others to explore the inner workings, stories, and future of the music industry.
Whether you are looking to hire a sophisticated jazz trio for an event, begin your own piano journey, or explore the stories behind the music, Elliott is dedicated to bringing world-class artistry right to your community.
