My son is versed in composition, but has no desire to compose. His Muse is performance, and he will continue to pursue performance as a grad student.

However, he devours full orchestral scores. He reads them like novels, but studies them like texts; if he chose to change his focus to conducting at some point down the road, it would not come as a surprise.

binx's closing paragraph sums it up. Unless she has a burning desire to go one way or the other, she may be fine as is as long as she continues to progress and develops as a performer.

I would also have her seek the opions of her advisor, professors. They may have valid input and observations regarding her potential in either discipline.
