× Absolutely happy music makes me feel more excited, especially the rhythms and sounds make me feel very excited.
✓ Absolutely, happy music makes me feel more excited; especially the rhythms and sounds make me feel very excited.
Missing comma after introductory adverb 'Absolutely' and run-on sentence. Add punctuation to separate clauses for clarity. Also repetition 'make me feel very excited' is stylistic but not grammatical; consider varying wording. Suggestion: Add a comma after introductory words and use a semicolon or conjunction to join related independent clauses.
× No, I haven't because I didn't get a chance to go to music classes because I didn't interested in music.
✓ No, I haven't, because I didn't get a chance to go to music classes and I wasn't interested in music.
Incorrect verb form after 'didn't' — 'interested' requires a form of be (was/were) rather than 'didn't interested'. Also avoid repeating 'because' twice; use 'and' or restructure. Suggestion: use past simple 'wasn't interested' and combine clauses logically.
× Now I feel a bit regret because I really like music now.
✓ Now I feel a bit of regret because I really like music now.
The noun 'regret' requires the determiner 'a bit of' when quantified. Alternatively use adjective 'regretful' or phrase 'I regret it'. Suggestion: say 'I feel a bit of regret' or 'I regret it' for natural English.
× No, not really, because I find it very distracting so I can concentrate better when I don't listen to music.
✓ No, not really, because I find it very distracting, so I can concentrate better when I don't listen to music.
Missing comma before coordinating conjunction 'so' joining independent clauses. Comma improves readability. Also sentence is otherwise grammatically correct; ensure pause with comma.
