She’s good at piano. Kudos to her. If she’s not going to win the Van Cliburn competition or something equally prestigious, she needs to impress another way. Frankly, playing Christmas carols at the local senior center is nice, but not particularly prestigious. If she can’t win a prestigious competition, perhaps she should give piano lessons to a kid (preferably poor) who becomes a prodigy and does win something.

If she can’t do that, she needs to do whatever it is she enjoys doing and not worry so much about impressing adcoms.
