Grammar

Incorrect use of conjunction

× I prefer happy music because it makes my mood good and it also keeps me energized and.

I prefer happy music because it improves my mood and keeps me energized.

The sentence ends with an extra conjunction 'and' which is redundant and creates a sentence fragment. Use a single conjunction to join two complete ideas and remove the trailing 'and'. Also changed 'makes my mood good' to 'improves my mood' for natural phrasing.

Verb in the present participle form

× Listening sad songs I do not prefer listening sad songs because it makes a person to get depression.

I do not prefer listening to sad songs because they can cause depression.

'Listening sad songs' is incorrect; the verb requires the preposition 'to' ('listening to sad songs'). Also 'it makes a person to get depression' uses incorrect pronoun and infinitive structure. Use plural 'they' to refer to 'songs' and say 'can cause depression' for natural English.

Third person singular issue

× Yes, happy music makes me feel more excited as compared to sad music and I love to listen happy music like upbeat music etc.

Yes, happy music makes me feel more excited than sad music, and I love listening to upbeat music.

'I love to listen happy music' lacks the preposition 'to' after 'listen' and the object needs 'to listen to'. Also 'as compared to' is wordy; use 'than' for comparison. Removed 'etc.' which is informal and unnecessary.

Present tense issue

× Till now, I have not taken any music classes at university or at college, but I love to sing songs and I also participate in events at college and school.

So far, I have not taken any music classes at university or college, but I love singing and I also participate in events at college and school.

'Till now' is informal; 'so far' is more natural here. 'Love to sing songs' can be simplified to 'love singing'. 'At university or at college' is repetitive; use 'at university or college'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, I love to listen music while doing other things like coding.

Yes, I love to listen to music while doing other things like coding.

The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' before its object: 'listen to music'.

Sentence structure errors

× I always play music in my background whenever I am doing coding because it. Because it makes my mood good and keeps me active and.

I always play music in the background whenever I am coding because it improves my mood and keeps me active.

The original contains sentence fragments ('because it.'), repeated 'Because it', and a trailing 'and'. 'In my background' should be 'in the background'. Also changed 'doing coding' to 'coding' and 'makes my mood good' to 'improves my mood' for natural phrasing.
