Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?

Not all songs can bring happiness to people. Sad songs always give you a sense of depression and sadness, but enthusiastic songs give you motivation and make you feel happy and make your mood good. So all songs do not make you happy.

× I'm not a professional singer, so I don't sing well, but nobody appreciate me and I take that as a fun.
✓ I'm not a professional singer, so I don't sing well, but nobody appreciates me and I take that as fun.
The verb 'appreciate' should be in third person singular form 'appreciates' to agree with the singular subject 'nobody'. Also, 'as a fun' is incorrect; 'fun' is an uncountable noun here and does not need an article 'a'.
× I don't bother that and.
✓ I don't bother about that.
The phrase 'I don't bother that and' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'I don't bother about that' to indicate not being concerned. The conjunction 'and' is unnecessary and incorrect here.
× Have you ever learnt how to sing?
✓ Have you ever learned how to sing?
Both 'learnt' and 'learned' are past tense forms, but 'learned' is more common in American English, which fits the context better. However, 'learnt' is acceptable in British English. No strict error here, but 'learned' is preferred.
× And nobody appreciates me that much.
✓ And nobody appreciates me that much.
This sentence is correct; no correction needed.
× I don't take that on my head.
✓ I don't take that to heart.
The phrase 'take that on my head' is incorrect. The correct idiom is 'take that to heart', meaning to be upset or affected by something.
× I just want. I just sing for myself whenever I am happy or relaxed to make myself more happier and delighted.
✓ I just want to sing for myself whenever I am happy or relaxed to make myself happier and delighted.
The sentence 'I just want.' is incomplete and should be connected to the next sentence. Also, 'more happier' is incorrect because 'happier' is already a comparative form; 'more' is redundant.
× So I don't perform it on stage for someone and I don't I haven't learned, I haven't taken professional classes on.
✓ So I don't perform on stage for anyone, and I haven't learned or taken professional classes.
The phrase 'perform it on stage for someone' is awkward; 'perform on stage for anyone' is better. Also, the sentence is fragmented and needs restructuring for clarity.
× Sad songs always give you a sense of depression and sadness, but enthusiastic songs give you motivation and make you feel happy and make your mood good.
✓ Sad songs always give you a sense of depression and sadness, but enthusiastic songs give you motivation, make you feel happy, and improve your mood.
The phrase 'make your mood good' is awkward; 'improve your mood' is more natural. Also, adding commas improves readability.
