Bess Cook-Miller is a violinist and violist currently studying in her second year at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. She is a keen and enthusiastic musician interested in the exploration of all kinds of music and musical experiences. She has performed in many different scenarios playing classical, pop, rock, jazz, funk and soul music on violin viola and piano in venues ranging from a back garden to the Royal Albert Hall. She is also a member of the folk band Three Leafed Clovers and the folk-rock band The Can Do’s. Bess is also pursuing music education and around her own education has been involved in projects introducing classical string music to toddlers, orchestral music to primary schools and has been a facilitator in multiple music workshops with primary aged children as well as for one to one and group instrumental lessons and small ensembles. Bess is hopeful that the work she is doing to begin her portfolio career will enable her to combine both her passions of playing and performing and educating
