× I prefer happy music before because it instantly uplift my mood and feels and makes me feel like upbeat.
✓ I prefer happy music because it instantly uplifts my mood and makes me feel upbeat.
Errors: verb form and redundancy. 'Prefer' is present simple, so the verb 'uplift' must be third person singular 'uplifts' (subject: it). Remove redundant words 'before' and 'feels and' which are ungrammatical and unnecessary. Combine 'makes me feel upbeat' instead of 'makes me feel like upbeat.' Suggestion: use correct subject-verb agreement and concise phrasing. Grammar problem type ID:6

✓ For instance, when I am stressed after work, listening to cheerful songs helps me relax and puts me in a much better mood.
Error: repeated word 'to' (typo) and gerund phrase is correct but had duplication. The structure 'listening to cheerful songs' is correct as a gerund subject; remove the extra 'to'. Suggestion: proofread for repeated words and keep gerund phrase as is. Grammar problem type ID:8

✓ Yes, definitely happy music makes me feel more excited because whenever I listen to happy music I feel very pleased; it also makes me feel like I am over the moon, and sometimes it even makes my eyebrows raise.
Multiple errors: incorrect adjective/adverb choice ('very enjoyable' should be 'very pleased' or 'I enjoy it'); unnecessary 'the' before 'happy music' and repeated phrases 'it also it also'; infinitive misuse 'makes me to feel' should be 'makes me feel'; phrase 'like a like a over the moon' is ungrammatical—use 'like I am over the moon'; past tense 'raised' conflicts with present general statement — use 'raise' or 'makes my eyebrows raise'. Suggestions: use appropriate adjectives for feelings, remove duplicates, correct infinitive usage, and maintain consistent present tense. Grammar problem type ID:6
