He later studied with Arthur Haas at the Yale School of Music and served as vocal coach with the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale. Elliot is an active member of several New York based early music and contemporary ensembles, including ACRONYM, The Colonials, and Trio Coprario. Elliot received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in music composition from the University of North Texas where he studied composition with Cindy McTee and Joseph Klein, and harpsichord with Lenora McCroskey.
