× No, I have never taken any professional training for singing, but during my school times we used to have a singing period.
✓ No, I have never taken any professional training for singing, but during my school days we used to have a singing period.
The phrase 'school times' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'school days' when referring to the period of schooling in the past.
× Plus I have performed in different group songs and in different school activities.

✓ It is a way of expressing my love to them.
The original sentence has an extra pronoun 'I' causing sentence structure error. The corrected sentence removes the extra word and restructures for clarity.
