Carrie, I think there are some people who are more natural sight readers than others, as you asked. Just as there are some people who are better at math than art and some better at art than math. One of my fellow clarinetists sight reads almost perfectly every time, but she has no concept of artistry and sounds terrible. However, she really does have a quick eye for the notes. She tells me it's because she plays piano all the time and so our line of notes seems simple. Others may struggle with sight reading but sound absolutely marvelous once they've gotten the hang of the music because their ears are tuned in for the sound of the piece. It's when we bring the two together that we've accomplished much.
