I think that the naming of that chord is wrong (not your fault but your teacher’s)

There is no “minor suspended chord”
A Suspended chord is when you replace the 3rd with a major second ( sus2 ) or with a Perfect 4th ( sus4 )

Without the 3rd; the chord is neither major nor minor. It is Suspended. But its harmonic function depends on the context of the piece, it can even function as a Dominant chord.

Many people refer to the Sus4 as simply Sus.

So an Asus4 chord has this notes in it ( A, D, E )

The 6th is the F note….if you flat that note you end up with an E note which is enharmonically equivalent to Fb.

So basically it is an Asus4 chord.


Hope that helps. :)
