Are you sure her trumpet is a Bb trumept and not a C trumpet?

Here is another possibility in case it is really a Bb trumpet. Maybe when you both play a note, let's say a C, maybe your daughter automatically knows her trumpet is in Bb and she will play the whole tone above, assuming the note was in concert pitch.

Does the problem happen if you both read from the same music?

One local trumpet player is actually a pinanist, and was for many years before learning trumpet. He taught himself trumpet and since he didn't want to bother with transposing, and since he only play his music on trumpet or only by ear, he leared it as if his Bb trumpet was a concert pitch instrument. Is it possible that something like this happened to your daughter by accident? Though if she has/had lessons with a trumpet teacher then it's extremely unlikely.
