Jan,

Sorry, I don't know of any info on music as such affecting plants
but you might like to take a look at the article in this month's 
Wild Flower News, regarding plant sensitivities.

This is based on a longer article in New Scientist (http://www.new
scientist.com/), which is a good source of useful background info
on many science related matters. Use the search facility.

Best wishes to your daughter in her studies.
