× I'll definitely listen to happy music more often because listening to music for me is something can motivate myself.
✓ I'll definitely listen to happy music more often because listening to music, for me, is something that can motivate me.
Missing 'that' before 'can motivate' and incorrect reflexive pronoun. The structure 'something that can + verb' requires 'that' to link the noun and the clause. Use 'me' instead of 'myself' because 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object are the same; here 'me' is the direct object of 'motivate'. Also add commas for clarity.
× So when like anything I wanna try, I always listen to music to make sure folk.
✓ So when I want to try something, I always listen to music to encourage myself.
Informal filler 'like' and vague 'anything' create awkward structure; 'wanna' is informal. 'Make sure folk' is ungrammatical and unclear. Rephrase to 'when I want to try something' and use 'encourage myself' or 'motivate myself' to convey intention. This fixes sentence structure and clarity.
× Definitely it does, especially when I have concern about something I always listen to music and just cheer myself up.
✓ Definitely it does; especially when I am concerned about something, I always listen to music to cheer myself up.
Use progressive or adjective 'concerned' instead of noun phrase 'have concern'. Add appropriate punctuation or conjunction to separate clauses. Use 'to cheer myself up' to express purpose. This corrects tense and improves natural phrasing.
× Umm for example when I had a failed my exam and I was just listening to music to motivate myself again and it.
✓ For example, when I failed an exam, I listened to music to motivate myself again.
Incorrect past tense structure 'had a failed my exam' and extraneous 'and it'. Use simple past 'failed' and article 'an exam'. Remove redundant words and correct verb tense consistency.
× However, I'm really interested in taking umm classes that I can learn instrument.
✓ However, I'm really interested in taking classes where I can learn to play an instrument.
Incorrect verb pattern 'learn instrument'; after 'learn' you usually need an object with an article ('an instrument') or use 'learn to play'. Also 'that I can learn' is awkward; use 'where I can learn to play'. This fixes verb + -ing form and noun usage.
× It's because I've loved music since I was kid and I always dreamed about playing some instrument in the future.
✓ It's because I've loved music since I was a kid, and I have always dreamed of playing an instrument in the future.
Missing article 'a' before 'kid'. Use present perfect 'have always dreamed' and correct preposition 'dreamed of'. 'Some instrument' is awkward; use 'an instrument'. This corrects tense and article usage.
× Yeah I really do listen to music, specifically when I study or when I when I skateboard, cause listening to music makes me easy to focus on a lot of stuff and can go into my zone which helps me a lot to make a process.
✓ Yeah, I really do listen to music, especially when I study or when I skateboard, because listening to music makes it easier for me to focus on many things and helps me get into my zone, which helps me make progress.
Multiple issues: use 'especially' instead of 'specifically'; remove duplicate 'when I'. 'Cause' should be 'because'. 'Makes me easy to focus' is ungrammatical — use 'makes it easier for me to focus'. 'A lot of stuff' is informal; use 'many things'. 'Can go into my zone' needs subject and tense: 'helps me get into my zone'. 'Make a process' is incorrect; use 'make progress'. This fixes verb-ing forms, adverb choice, and overall sentence structure.
