I am Carli “Dakota” Williams, a trumpet player and music educator and composer based in Jacksonville, Florida. I perform with brass ensembles and rock groups across the greater Jacksonville area, I substitute as a private instructor to help students develop strong musical foundations, and I compose jazz and indie music that has previously been performed at the University of North Florida.
I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies at the University of North Florida, where I’m involved with the Wind Symphony and Jazz Ensemble II. I’ve performed with the Honors Wind Ensemble at Carnegie Hall in February 2023, and I also teach private lessons at Morris Music Academy. I enjoy mentoring students, leading brass sections, and preparing high-level performances.

A jazz composition based off the chords to “I Got Rhythm” that I wrote in Fall 2025, as played by my jazz combo. I both composed this piece and played trumpet on the recording.
