My 13 year old daughter has a piano exam next week but her teacher is away (she knew this when she booked my daughter in for the exam).

My daughter is panicking now that she doesn't play well enough. I am an accomplished pianist myself and work in the music industry and I've tried to help her but she just shouts and cries telling me not to tell her how to play the piano even though she's the one who came winging to me in the first place.

I want to help her because I can see how stressed out she is and I can tell you that there are errors in her playing that can easily be fixed if she's just listen to me.

How can I get through to her? Does she want my help or not?
