<p>Mstee, you said she has expressed an interest in taking lessons again? Piano competency is a very important skill for a musician - it will positively impact her skills in choir and band. School and community bands and choirs usually do not have time to give enough basic music training, not the way one on one piano lessons do (I know what I'm talking about this time, 8 years of piano, 8 years of flute into college, 5 years of choir and continuing choral music for the last 15 years as an adult). You need to talk to her about this, perhaps have her discuss it with one of the professional musicians she knows (the band and choir directors) - piano will help with some of the unfun basic music theory things that will make her a much better singer and baritone player - but it is the "hard stuff", that's why they can't cover as much in school, it takes time. She should maybe "audition" the piano teachers, to find one that fits her style, but you and she should recognize that if she will work with a teacher on music training, not just playing more piano by ear for fun, that it will be a boost to her other music activities that are already fun.</p>
<p>I guess what I'm saying is that, yes, someone will help her play around on the piano, and play by chords, or in a jazzy style, but it would be to her benefit as a musician to do some of the more tedious work that may have originally turned her off piano lessons.</p>
