Q: can i delete music from a device and still keep it on the computer?

I recently downloaded iTunes Match.  My daughter wants to delete some of the music from her ipod but we don't want them deleted from the library How can she remove songs she does not like from her device?

iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 6.1.4

    She can go to the songs list, swipe across the title of the song she no longer wants on her device, then tap Delete.  The local copy of the song will be deleted and the cloud download symbol will appear so it can be redownloaded again later, if desired.
