She has done some piano 4-hands with her teacher. Her favorites there have been some Vandall (modern) and the Grieg Norwegian dances and Peer Gynt selections.
I think she is simply not all that fond of piano to listen to...
and she prefers jazz and Broadway standards-- and she likes to improvise on top of the melody, if that makes sense. She loves Seussical and some modern pop standards which are amenable to this approach.
Mostly, as you say, it's the monotony of practicing rigorously to POLISH a work to perfection. I kind of hate to force this issue, truthfully, since I don't want to encourage that form of perfectionism in someone with such potential for it anyway, BUT... it means that she and her teacher often don't see eye to eye, and it turns practice into drudgery.
I could try playing with her. I play both violin and (with greater accomplishment) flute. I'm just not sure that she's that interested in what I tend to play.
