Although I think Rick's methodology would be supremely successful, the problem is immaturity. She is unable to put her long term goals as first priority because her short term goals (I want to play this concerto, NOW!) get in the way. I knew a talented runner who was like this....she overtrained, trying to get a better time every day, instead of doing the type of training that was needed to meet her long term goal of better times. She worked against herself, being often injured, and she was not a kid. She was in her 40's. I think the patience needed to meet long term goals on an instrument is one of the things we encounter in the "journey" of learning an instrument.
