Upon reaching High School, Elliot studied with Anne Martindale Williams and Michael Lipman of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. He attended the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts in 2001, and then traveled to the Soesterberg International Music Festival in the summer of 2002 for study with Misha Quint. Briefly attending Duquesne University studying with Mikhail Istomin, he then went to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh to explore further interests in Graphic Design.
