× I basically prefer hearing to the songs and musics.
✓ I basically prefer listening to songs and music.
The word 'musics' is incorrect because 'music' is an uncountable noun and does not have a plural form. Also, the phrase 'hearing to' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'listening to' when referring to paying attention to sounds or music.
× No, I havent learned about singing, but I learned about how to play the keyboard.
✓ No, I haven't learned about singing, but I have learned how to play the keyboard.
The sentence mixes past simple 'learned' and present perfect 'haven't learned' incorrectly. Since the negative is in present perfect, the positive should also be in present perfect to maintain consistency. Also, 'learned about how to play' is awkward; 'learned how to play' is correct.
× I'm actually into the musical instruments, namely keyboard, guitar and violin such things.
✓ I'm actually into musical instruments, namely the keyboard, guitar, and violin.
The phrase 'such things' is unnecessary and informal here. Also, 'the musical instruments' should be 'musical instruments' without 'the' unless specifying particular ones. Adding 'the' before instrument names is appropriate here.
× Well I have a two year kid of two year cousin of mine.
✓ Well, I have a two-year-old kid who is the two-year-old cousin of mine.
The phrase 'a two year kid of two year cousin' is grammatically incorrect. 'Two-year-old' is the correct adjective form for age. Also, the relationship needs clarification with 'who is' to connect the kid and cousin.
× So to make him feel sleep I actually sing him rhymes or any Tamil songs to him so that he will be listening to it quietly and he will be falling asleep as soon as possible.
✓ So to make him fall asleep, I actually sing rhymes or Tamil songs to him so that he listens quietly and falls asleep as soon as possible.
The phrase 'make him feel sleep' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'make him fall asleep.' Also, 'sing him rhymes' should be 'sing rhymes to him.' The verb tenses are adjusted for natural flow and correctness.
× Singing and hearing to the music or songs brings the calmness to your heart and soul.
✓ Singing and listening to music or songs bring calmness to your heart and soul.
The phrase 'hearing to' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'listening to.' Also, 'brings the calmness' should be 'bring calmness' because the compound subject 'Singing and listening' is plural and 'calmness' is uncountable, so no 'the' is needed.
× And also singing helps lot of people to bust out their emotion.
✓ And also singing helps a lot of people to express their emotions.
The phrase 'helps lot of people' is missing the article 'a' before 'lot.' Also, 'bust out their emotion' is informal and incorrect; 'express their emotions' is the correct and formal phrase. 'Emotion' should be plural 'emotions' to match 'people.'
