✓ Even now I prefer singing more western kinds of music than Carnatic music and I like to sing it for my mother because she likes it.
The verb 'like' must agree with the third person singular subject 'she'. Therefore, 'like' should be changed to 'likes'. Also, 'more western kind of music' is better expressed as 'more western kinds of music' to indicate variety.
× Yes, I took Carnatic music lessons till my 10th grade and uh I discontinued learning after my 10th grade.
✓ Yes, I took Carnatic music lessons until my 10th grade and I discontinued learning after my 10th grade.
The word 'till' is informal; 'until' is more appropriate in formal speech. Also, the sentence is correct in past tense but removing filler 'uh' improves clarity.
× Now I sing song of my own and I try to upgrade my skill by watching YouTube videos and videos of my gurus.
✓ Now I sing songs of my own and I try to upgrade my skills by watching YouTube videos and videos of my gurus.
The noun 'song' should be plural 'songs' to indicate multiple songs. Similarly, 'skill' should be plural 'skills' to indicate various abilities.
× They appreciate uh, my skill and singing and I believe that my song make them relax and umm, calm and detach from, disconnect from their stress and all.
✓ They appreciate my skill and singing and I believe that my songs make them relax, calm, and disconnect from their stress and all.
The subject 'my songs' is plural, so the verb should be 'make' not 'makes'. Also, removing filler words and correcting punctuation improves clarity.
