Dd is 6.5 yo and has been playing violin since she was 5. She's enjoying it atm and recently started playing ABRSM grade 2 pieces. Yesterday she was playing Rigaudon and although she was producing the right notes and her timing was ok it wasn't until I played the cd that accompanied the book that it clicked and sounded as it should. She was pleasantly surprised at how the piece sounded after listening to the cd which was very different from before.
My question is - does it take years of playing for a child to play pieces on sight reading that sound similar to the way they should without first listening to the piece played?
Is this analagous to developing literary fluency?
