When she's ready to move up, try to find something with 88 weighted keys, get some cheap powered monitor speakers and a decent laptop and she could even gig. One thing I always wanted to get into was improvised solo looping. Basically, you play a melody/riff and set your laptop to loop it and then you can layer stuff on top on the fly and come out with some pretty intricate stuff. There is a ted video where a beatbox guy does this with his voice and accurately mimics an entire jazz ensemble.
That's pretty cool about the TED thing.

And yeah she's on the 88 weighted keys tip already because I blew entirely too much money on something that I was pretty sure I wasn't going to fuck with in the long run even though it seemed like a good idea at the time.
