× Yes, I prefer several happy music because I feel deep emotions from them and for example when I listen to happy music I can.
✓ Yes, I prefer happy music because I feel deep emotions from it; for example, when I listen to happy music I can feel uplifted.
'Several' is an incorrect quantifier for an uncountable noun 'music' (Korean: 'music'은 셀 수 없는 명사이므로 'several'을 사용해서는 안 됩니다). Use no quantifier or 'some' for uncountable nouns. Also pronoun agreement: use 'it' for 'music' (단수 취급) rather than 'them'. The sentence was also incomplete; add a verb phrase such as 'feel uplifted' to complete the idea.
× Yeah, happy music made me feel more energetic because their lyrics and melody are cheerful.
✓ Yeah, happy music makes me feel more energetic because its lyrics and melody are cheerful.
Use present tense 'makes' to match the general statement about music's effect (한국어: 일반적 사실을 말할 때는 과거 대신 현재 시제를 사용해야 합니다). Also 'music' is treated as singular/uncontable, so use 'its' instead of 'their' for pronoun agreement.
× For example, when I listen to upbeat music, I can concentrate on my.
✓ For example, when I listen to upbeat music, I can concentrate on my work/studies.
The sentence ends incomplete; the object after 'my' is missing (한국어: 소유 대명사 'my' 다음에는 명사가 와야 합니다). Provide a noun like 'work' or 'studies' to complete the sentence.
× I have taken the guitar classes in the school.
✓ I have taken guitar classes at school.
Use no definite article before 'guitar classes' in general statements and use 'at school' rather than 'in the school' for attending classes (한국어: 일반적으로 'in the school'보다 'at school'이 더 자연스럽고, 'the'는 불필요합니다).
× For example, when I was a teenager, I learned a guitar, how to play the guitar, and it was my first time to play it.
✓ For example, when I was a teenager, I learned the guitar and how to play it; it was my first time playing.
Use 'learned the guitar' not 'learned a guitar' because you learn an instrument, not an object (한국어: 악기에는 정관사 'the' 또는 무관사로 쓰지만 'a'는 부적절합니다). Also use gerund 'playing' with 'first time' and avoid awkward repetition 'how to play the guitar' twice.
× While doing other things, I often listen to music because it makes me more energetic and focus on my studies.
✓ While doing other things, I often listen to music because it makes me more energetic and helps me focus on my studies.
Parallel structure and verb forms require 'helps me focus' or 'helps me to focus' rather than mixing bare verb 'focus' directly (한국어: 동사의 병렬 구조를 맞추려면 'helps me focus'와 같이 조동사나 동사구를 사용해야 합니다).
× For example on when I wo when I study mathematics, I can have.
✓ For example, when I study mathematics, I can concentrate better if I listen to music.
Original is fragmented and contains typos ('on when I wo when I'). Fix to a coherent clause: 'When I study mathematics, I can concentrate better if I listen to music.' (한국어: 문장이 파편화되어 있고 철자 오류가 있어, 의미가 통하도록 재구성해야 합니다).
