× Certainly, I've learnt how to sing while growing up.
✓ Certainly, I learnt how to sing while growing up.
The use of present perfect 'I've learnt' is incorrect here because the action is completed in the past and the time frame 'while growing up' specifies a finished period. Simple past 'I learnt' is appropriate.
× My father registered me in a music school where I was taught a lot of notes.
✓ My father registered me in a music school where I was taught many notes.
The phrase 'a lot of' is informal and better replaced with 'many' when referring to countable nouns like 'notes' in formal speech. This is more about quantifier usage but also improves clarity.
× I learned how to play the guitar and also how to sing melodious songs following it.
✓ I learned how to play the guitar and also how to sing melodious songs after that.
The phrase 'following it' is awkward and unclear. 'After that' is a clearer way to express the sequence of learning to sing after learning guitar.
× I also learned.
✓ I also learned more.
The sentence 'I also learned.' is incomplete and unclear. Adding 'more' clarifies that the learning continued.
× Well, I would love to sing for my child when she becomes an adult.
✓ Well, I would love to sing for my child when they become an adult.
Using 'she' assumes the child's gender which may not be known. Using the singular 'they' is more inclusive and grammatically acceptable.
× I'm very passionate about music and I love to sing for people that I love.
✓ I'm very passionate about music and I love to sing for people whom I love.
The relative pronoun 'that' is less appropriate when referring to people in formal contexts. 'Whom' is the correct object pronoun here.
× Also, my mom also loved to listen to music whenever she is sad.
✓ Also, my mom also loves to listen to music whenever she is sad.
The sentence mixes past tense 'loved' with present tense 'is sad'. To maintain consistency, present tense 'loves' should be used.
