Dd just got her grade 3 certificate, Merit, with examiner's comments. She failed sightreading which I know she was not strong on this year (last year she did very well in the grade 1 sightreading so don't know if jumping a grade made a difference).
She is said to have played with purpose but unsuccessfully identified the key of the piece. Now I have never learned music but I gather that if you are playing the piece in the wrong key then it must be impossible to pass the sightreading element - is this correct?
