Online Piano Lessons from Corkscrew, Ave Maria, FL

My name is Elliott Stilwell, and I am a pianist and educator with a deep passion for both performance and teaching. Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of musical settings, from accompanying collegiate-level performers to teaching students of all ages the art of piano.

Since January 2025, I have been the proud owner of my business “The Flying Keys” where I teach, network, and go out and perform. I’ve performed with my group at places such as country clubs, restaurants, and retirement homes.

What I pride myself on most, is my dedication to the craft. My practice and hard work have led me to ensembles that I could’ve never dreamed of at a young age. As a piano accompanist, I’ve performed alongside talented musicians in professional and state-level settings, supporting many collegiate performers whose work was later showcased. These experiences have strengthened my musical adaptability, collaborative spirit, and technical fluency. Alongside my performance work, I serve as a private piano teacher in my community, where I’ve helped young beginners discover their musical voice and guided adult learners to achieve lifelong dreams at the piano. I believe that teaching music is as much about patience and empathy as it is about skill, and I take pride in helping each student grow not only as a musician but as a confident artist.

Currently, I am performing with the - All State Jazz band, FGCU Jazz Band and several ensembles at Artis Naples, including the Philharmonic Jazz Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, and Chamber Philharmonic and of course my company the Elliott Stilwell Trio. My involvement in these groups has broadened my versatility across genres, from classical and jazz to hymn and contemporary music.

In recognition of my dedication and musicianship, I have been honored with the Samson Scholarship and Dan Miller Scholarship, both awarded to a select few young musicians for exceptional audition performance.

Music has always been more than a discipline for me it’s a lifelong pursuit of expression, connection, and excellence. I look forward to continuing to share that passion through every performance and lesson I give.

Warm regards,

Elliott Stilwell
