Ended my guqin lessons

Yesterday I made the decision to end my guqin lessons. I started my guqin lessons after my kkh surgery in 2023 Jan.

It had been 2 years. Why I picked up this, was that I was still suffering from my grief. My hubby passed away in Aug 2022. I thought it was an easy instrument and I could play it stressfree.

After 2 years, I couldnt grasp the basics. I cant understand the score. This had been bugging me from the start. Secondly my teacher always wasnt playing attention and looking at his phone during my lessons. He also eat into my 45 mins. Something I tolerated for many months. Finally the last straw came last sunday. I was playing this piece for many weeks. Each time I went to class, he tells me different things. Then that day, he said i made the most fundamental mistakes....i think it is a sign that I should not continue. 

I have given this a go for 2 years plus. I felt very stressed to play the instrument which was totally the complete reason why I took it up.

Still have 13 lessons each worth 95 left which I wish to use to buy an erhu. See how, if cant, either convert to erhu or somewhat.
