× I feel my voice is not that much good
✓ I feel my voice is not that good
The phrase 'that much good' is incorrect. 'Good' is an adjective and should be modified by 'that' alone, not 'that much'. 'That much' is used with uncountable nouns or verbs, but here 'good' is an adjective describing 'voice'. So, the correct phrase is 'not that good'.
× I have learned how to sing music in my music class
✓ I learned how to sing music in my music class
The sentence refers to a completed action in the past (childhood), so the simple past tense 'learned' is more appropriate than the present perfect 'have learned'. Present perfect is used for actions with relevance to the present, but here the time is specified as 'in my childhood'.
× My school used to offer a music class for children who likes singing
✓ My school used to offer a music class for children who like singing
The relative pronoun 'who' refers to 'children', which is plural, so the verb should be 'like' (plural) not 'likes' (singular). This is a subject-verb agreement issue related to singular and plural forms.
× I want to sing a song for my boyfriend or for my parents
✓ I want to sing a song to my boyfriend or to my parents
The verb 'sing' is usually followed by the preposition 'to' when indicating the person who is the recipient of the singing. Using 'for' is less common and can imply doing something on behalf of someone rather than directing the action towards them.
× I feel music is a very good emotion to express
✓ I feel music is a very good way to express emotions
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'emotion' where 'way' is appropriate. Also, 'to express' should be followed by the object 'emotions' to complete the meaning. The corrected sentence improves clarity and grammatical structure.
