× When I feel energetic, then I prefer to listen some, uh, loud music.
✓ When I feel energetic, I prefer to listen to loud music.
Use the verb 'listen' with the preposition 'to' when followed by an object: 'listen to music'. Also remove unnecessary 'then' and 'some' before uncountable 'music' to make the sentence natural.
× But when I feel, uh, to listen some, uh, soulful music, uh, then I just play some romantic songs.
✓ But when I feel like listening to soulful music, I just play romantic songs.
Use the pattern 'feel like' + verb-ing (listening). Also use 'listen to' and avoid 'some' before plural 'songs' when context is general; remove filler 'then' for fluency.
× Yes, happy music make me feel more excited because it gets motivated and give me a positive energy and sometime when I work then I play of some energetic songs.
✓ Yes, happy music makes me feel more excited because it motivates me and gives me positive energy, and sometimes when I work I play some energetic songs.
Subject 'happy music' is singular/collective, so use 'makes'. 'It gets motivated' is incorrect: music cannot be motivated; use 'motivates me'. Use 'gives' to agree with singular subject. Use 'sometimes' and correct 'play of some' to 'play some'.
× Yes, since I since my childhood, I was very interested to take on a vocal classes.
✓ Yes, since my childhood, I have been very interested in taking vocal classes.
With 'since' and a time from the past to present, use present perfect ('have been'). Use 'interested in doing' and 'taking' (gerund). Use plural 'vocal classes' without 'a' and remove extra 'since'.
× However, in my 10th standard, I started to take a vocal training, uh, from Mr. Gurmeet Kaur.
✓ However, in my 10th standard, I started vocal training with Mr. Gurmeet Kaur.
Use 'started' + noun phrase 'vocal training' or 'started to take vocal training' (less natural). Use 'with' for the teacher rather than 'from'. Avoid article 'a' before uncountable 'training'.
× She is a very good teacher and a vocal trainer.
✓ She is a very good teacher and vocal trainer.
This sentence is grammatical but more natural without the second article. Removing 'a' before 'vocal trainer' avoids redundancy.
× Uh, after that I joined as a harmonist.
✓ After that, I joined as a harmonist.
Remove filler 'Uh' and add a comma. 'Joined as a harmonist' is acceptable; ensure context clarifies what was joined (a group or as a role). If intended 'I became a harmonist', use that phrasing.
× No, I do not prefer to listen listen music while I while I am doing other things because I want to concentrate on a single thing and when I listen to music I do not fully focused or concentrate in other thing.
✓ No, I do not prefer to listen to music while I am doing other things because I want to concentrate on one thing, and when I listen to music I am not fully focused on other things.
Use 'listen to music'. Remove repeated words. Use 'concentrate on one thing' rather than 'a single thing' for naturalness. Use 'am not fully focused' (correct verb form) and plural 'other things' to match context.
