> mouth piece the same brand as the clarinet or not

No correlation, in most cases. 'brand' name mouthpieces that match the clarinet, e.g., say a buffet mouthpiece on a E12F or R13, or a Yamaha 4C with a Yamaha clarinet, are in most cases very poor choices. I would also look at Vandoren 5Rv-lyres and M13's in addition to those mentioned above, but: you really should consult her private teacher for equipment recommendations. Don't just buy stuff, talk to the private teacher first. Many times I pull out a bag of mouthpieces and pick the one that works best for that particular student.
