| With all that you said, it just sounds to me like should just leave her be.
The description you gave sounded rather extreme but if she enjoys the horn just let her enjoy what she's doing the way she does it. After all, she's still first chair in her band. That's pretty good, says I. The only other thing you can do is lend/give her a couple of Mendez recordings and see what that does to her ear.
