Grammar
× Ever since I was like around 10 years old, I have started singing
✓ Ever since I was around 10 years old, I have been singing
The phrase 'Ever since' indicates an action that started in the past and continues to the present, so the present perfect continuous tense 'have been singing' is appropriate instead of 'have started singing'. This shows ongoing action from the past until now.
× I feel like I have good melodious voice that gives me more motivation to sing
✓ I feel like I have a good melodious voice that gives me more motivation to sing
The noun 'voice' is singular and requires the indefinite article 'a' before it. Omitting the article causes a grammatical error in English.
× the jamming session that are available on different sides
✓ the jamming sessions that are available on different sites
The phrase 'jamming session' is singular but is referred to with the plural verb 'are', so it should be plural 'jamming sessions'. Also, 'sides' is incorrect here; the correct word is 'sites' meaning places or websites.
× which particularly helped me to manage it with my schedule
✓ which particularly helped me to manage it around my schedule
The preposition 'with' is incorrect in this context. The correct preposition is 'around' to indicate fitting something into one's schedule.
× I cannot go to the regular classes to learn the singing professionally
✓ I cannot go to regular classes to learn singing professionally
The definite article 'the' before 'regular classes' and 'the singing' is unnecessary here. Also, 'learn singing' is the correct phrase without 'the'.
× the jamming session that are available on different sides
✓ the jamming sessions that are available on different sites
The noun 'session' is singular but the verb 'are' is plural, so the noun should be plural 'sessions' to agree with the verb. Also, 'sides' is incorrect; 'sites' is the correct word meaning places or websites.
× I usually prefer singing with my husband because he's a very good singer
✓ I usually prefer singing with my husband because he is a very good singer
Contractions like 'he's' are acceptable in speech but in formal or clear writing, it is better to use the full form 'he is' for clarity.
