Assuming your daughter has an arranger keyboard, ideally having some lessons that teach some traditional piano along the way but, most importantly the chord method so she can have quick success sounding good playing real songs. Learning chord piano and being able to play the arranger part using the same correct chords is ideal.

It is important if that's what you want to do is to consider that a traditional piano teacher, even if she is using a method that teaches chords, teaches them in a way that doesn't use all of the chord notes and doesn't translate well to switch from piano to arranger mode.

Example, the traditional piano method of teaching chords is CEG for a C chord and BFG for a G7 chord. You can see this system will take you above the usual split on most keyboards and goes below the lowest note on an arranger keyboard if chords are played all the way to the left. The system that I have found works the best and teach is playing all chords between C - C always favoring the bottom, that is if the chord is Dm7 use the bottom C intead of the top C. It works out better in the long run for comfortable fingering. Later after a student is playing well and fluently other inversions can always be included if desired.

If you consider the piano class option, I would really check that out a lot, because in my experience every child that has had piano class can hardly play.

I'll give you an example. I have a student that I started when he was 8. He is now 11. He has ADHD like you've never seen it. Sliding off the bench, rolling around on the floor, standing on his head during lessons and a lot of variations.

In about 4 months using the chord piano method I mentioned, he played Silent Night in church using 4 part harmony. Everyone was floored.

A mother of an 11 year old straight A student who had taken piano class for about 3 years at the local Junior College was especially floored, because the boy with ADHD blew away what her daughter could do.

The daughter started taking lessons with me and I was astounded at the lack of playing knowledge and ability she had. I've had other students that took piano classes and none of them, even playing at their best sounded like anything. Partly because traditional piano lessons were used exclusively.

I wish you the best in finding a good local teacher. In case you are interested, I do teach long distance lessons.

If you would like any other info that you think might help you find a good local teacher or whatever, let me know, I would be glad to give you all info you might need in finding a teacher everyone will be happy with. I have Skype so I can call internationally if you want to chat.

Best
