My little sister is struggling to produce a sound on the baritone (both on mouthpiece and instrument) – Any tips?

My little sister is about learning to play the baritone horn, but she’s currently stuck at the very first step—she can’t make a sound, neither on the mouthpiece alone nor on the horn itself.
I’ve tried having her blow hard, soft, tightening vs. relaxing her lips, wetting her lips... but nothing seems to work.
