Disklavier

In short, it is an excellent piano. The electronics are unintrusive and do not interfere with normal piano playing.

However, it is the electronics that will set the piano apart. For your sanity, when she is learning her trumpet voluntaries and getting those scales correct, the quiet mode is a godsend.

With the right help from you or someone older, recording pieces so that she can practise hands separately is a great learning facilitator. A co-operative piano tutor could also record a piece as they would like her to learn it and she could listen to the recording while practising.

The tone generator could be used to make learning the piano more fun for a child, and allow her to be more creative than with a traditional piano. 

Another feature, Smartkey or Cuetime, has great potential, but has only been a gimmick feature in my experience. The facility has yet to be fully exploited to enable learning, but has the potential to make learning more fun, interactive and an immersive experience.
