× When I was singing, I forget about everyday concern and feel relaxed.
✓ When I was singing, I forgot about everyday concerns and felt relaxed.
The sentence describes a past action, so the verbs 'forget' and 'feel' should be in the past tense 'forgot' and 'felt' to maintain tense consistency.
× I can make a new friends when I was singing in the stage and practice together.
✓ I can make new friends when I am singing on the stage and practice together.
'Friends' is plural, so 'a' should be removed. Also, 'when I was singing' should be 'when I am singing' to match the present tense 'can make'. 'In the stage' should be 'on the stage' due to preposition usage.
× I can make a new friends when I was singing in the stage and practice together.
✓ I can make new friends when I am singing on the stage and practice together.
The correct preposition with 'stage' is 'on', not 'in'. Also, tense consistency requires 'am singing' instead of 'was singing'.
× No, I have never learned how to sing before, but if I get a chance I would want to learn about the vocal techniques and how to sing.
✓ No, I have never learned how to sing before, but if I get a chance, I would want to learn about vocal techniques and how to sing.
A comma is needed after 'chance' for clarity. 'The vocal techniques' should be 'vocal techniques' as it refers to techniques in general, not specific ones.
× I want to sing very well because I enjoy music and it would be grateful to. Perform my favorite songs confidently.
✓ I want to sing very well because I enjoy music and it would be great to perform my favorite songs confidently.
The phrase 'it would be grateful to' is incorrect; 'grateful' is an adjective describing feelings, not situations. The sentence was fragmented; combining into one sentence improves clarity.
× I want to sing for my grandmother because she loved listening to music and often tell me that I have a perfect voice for singing.
✓ I want to sing for my grandmother because she loves listening to music and often tells me that I have a perfect voice for singing.
The grandmother's love and telling are ongoing, so present tense 'loves' and 'tells' are appropriate. 'Tell' should be 'tells' to agree with third person singular subject.
× Because of her encouragement, I practice regularly and I would be very happy to perform for her as a way to show my appearance.
✓ Because of her encouragement, I practice regularly and I would be very happy to perform for her as a way to show my appreciation.
'Show my appearance' is incorrect; the intended meaning is likely 'show my appreciation' to express gratitude.
× For example, when I am feeling down, thinking my favorite songs and listening it lift my spirits.
✓ For example, when I am feeling down, thinking about my favorite songs and listening to them lifts my spirits.
'Thinking' requires the preposition 'about'. 'Listening it' should be 'listening to them' to correctly refer to 'songs'. The verb 'lift' should be 'lifts' to agree with the singular subject 'thinking about my favorite songs and listening to them' considered as a singular activity.
× Music has a special power to connect with people emotion and makes them feel joyful.
✓ Music has a special power to connect with people's emotions and makes them feel joyful.
'People emotion' should be 'people's emotions' to show possession and plural form.
