To ask our houseguest to shut up?

I'm being really vague as she easily could be on here but we've got a close relative of mine staying for a few months as they have no other choice

However. The guest in question plays an instrument (not well). It's not required for her job nor is she a student. Every evening when DH and I sit down to relax she goes upstairs and starts with repetitive chords (strumming instrument) and awful singing

As a consequence we aren't getting any time to relax and it's driving us mad. We wouldn't mind, it's a nice past time, but when we've politely mentioned that it's loud before she gets defensive and says that she must be allowed to learn

WIBU to tell her she's not allowed to do it whilst we're in? It's often the same chords/lines of one song every night and it's driving us MAD

I would tell her she's welcome to do it when I was out of the house, but not when I was in. It's your house; you're doing her a massive favour. She should be doing whatever she can to make things easy for you.

5 minutes strumming only and NO SINGING
