× I used to play play guitar and harmonium in my spare time.
✓ I used to play guitar and harmonium in my spare time.
The repetition of the verb 'play' is a typographical error. Removing the duplicate 'play' corrects the sentence.
× I have learned from one of my teacher.
✓ I have learned from one of my teachers.
The preposition 'from' is correct, but 'teacher' should be plural 'teachers' because 'one of' is followed by a plural noun.
× I had a teacher who used to teach me how to sing a song and he helped me throughout the whole journey and even I participated different types of competitions and I got the first prize from there.
✓ I had a teacher who used to teach me how to sing a song, and he helped me throughout the whole journey. I even participated in different types of competitions and won the first prize there.
The sentence is a run-on and missing prepositions. 'Participated' requires the preposition 'in'. Also, 'got the first prize from there' is better expressed as 'won the first prize there'. Splitting into two sentences improves clarity.
× I have learned from one of my teacher. I had a teacher who used to teach me how to sing a song and he helped me throughout the whole journey and even I participated different types of competitions and I got the first prize from there.
✓ I have learned from one of my teachers. I had a teacher who used to teach me how to sing a song, and he helped me throughout the whole journey. I even participated in different types of competitions and won the first prize there.
The pronoun 'I' is correctly used, but the sentence structure is awkward. Adding commas and splitting sentences improves pronoun reference and clarity.
× Who do you want to sing for?
✓ Who do you want to sing for?
The question is grammatically correct; no correction needed.
× I think singing for a person is so special and dedicating that song to that specific person is most admirable thing I ever seen.
✓ I think singing for a person is very special, and dedicating that song to that specific person is the most admirable thing I have ever seen.
'So special' is better as 'very special' for formal tone. 'Most admirable thing' needs the definite article 'the'. 'I ever seen' should be 'I have ever seen' to use present perfect tense correctly.
× I would like to sing for my mother and of course my loved one who loved to hear my songs.
✓ I would like to sing for my mother and, of course, my loved ones who love to hear my songs.
'Loved one' should be plural 'loved ones' if referring to more than one person. Also, 'who loved to hear' should be 'who love to hear' to maintain present tense consistency.
× Yes, of course it does. Singing brings happiness to people because singing is something that makes us feel relaxed and many of us who loved singing because because they enjoy to do that and it give them a pleasant moment.
✓ Yes, of course it does. Singing brings happiness to people because it makes us feel relaxed, and many of us love singing because we enjoy doing it, and it gives us pleasant moments.
'Many of us who loved singing because because they enjoy to do that' is ungrammatical. Corrected to 'many of us love singing because we enjoy doing it'. Also, 'it give' should be 'it gives' for subject-verb agreement.
× Sometimes singing brings a special moments and it holds our memories of us that.
✓ Sometimes singing brings special moments and holds our memories.
'A special moments' is incorrect because 'moments' is plural and should not have 'a'. Also, 'holds our memories of us that' is awkward and unclear; simplified to 'holds our memories' for clarity.
