× songs with upbeats upfin uh have like positive and energetic vibes which can makes my day and lives my uh spirits.
✓ songs with upbeat, fun tones have positive and energetic vibes which can make my day and lift my spirits.
The original sentence has adjective/adverb and word choice errors: 'upbeats upfin' is incorrect form and needs to be 'upbeat, fun' (two adjectives). 'can makes' is incorrect verb form; after 'can' the base verb 'make' is required. 'lives my spirits' is incorrect word choice and verb; the correct phrase is 'lift my spirits'. Suggestion: use correct adjective forms and base verb after modal-like 'can', and choose the idiomatic verb 'lift' with 'spirits'.
× On the other hand, sad music is quite depressing and bring my.
✓ On the other hand, sad music is quite depressing and brings me down.
The verb 'bring' does not agree with the singular subject 'sad music'; it should be 'brings'. Also the original sentence is incomplete ('bring my' is unclear). The idiomatic completion is 'brings me down'. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees in number with the subject and complete the object phrase for clarity.
× Uh often umm lets my uh, moods and uh, bring me energy.
✓ It often lifts my mood and brings me energy.
'lets my moods' is incorrect in meaning and structure. Use 'lifts my mood' (verb + object) or 'improves my mood'. Also 'moods' plural with 'my' is awkward here; use singular 'mood'. 'bring' must agree with subject 'it' and use 'brings'. Suggestion: choose the correct verb for expressing emotional effect ('lift'/'improve') and maintain subject-verb agreement.
× So I often, uh, listen to happy music whenever I'm doing house chores to get some motivation and uh, energy.
✓ So I often listen to happy music whenever I'm doing housework to get some motivation and energy.
'house chores' is not the preferred collocation; 'housework' is more natural. The sentence structure with 'I'm doing house chores' is acceptable but 'doing housework' is more idiomatic. Remove unnecessary commas and fillers. Suggestion: use natural collocations and streamline filler words.
× Yes, but that's in the past.
✓ Yes, but that was in the past.
The clause refers to a past situation, so past tense 'was' is more consistent than present 'is'. Suggestion: match tense to the stated time frame.
× When I was in school, music was one of the compulsory subject at school.
✓ When I was in school, music was one of the compulsory subjects at school.
'One of the' requires a plural noun 'subjects'. Also repetition 'at school' is redundant but acceptable; remove repetition if desired. Suggestion: use plural after 'one of the'.
× During these lessons, I learned how to play, how to listen, how to sing songs, how to clap, following the rhythm of music and also learn about songs, writers and different genres of music.
✓ During these lessons, I learned how to play, how to listen, how to sing, how to clap to the rhythm of music, and also learned about songwriters and different genres of music.
Inconsistent verb forms: 'I learned' then 'learn' should be past 'learned' to match. 'sing songs' can be shortened to 'sing'. 'following the rhythm of music' is a fragment; use 'how to clap to the rhythm of music'. 'songs, writers' should be 'songwriters' as a compound noun. Suggestion: keep parallel verb forms and use correct compound nouns and prepositions.
× Music is something that can motivate me really well when doing other things.
✓ Music is something that can motivate me very well when I am doing other things.
The participle phrase 'when doing other things' lacks an explicit subject; adding 'I am' clarifies subject and maintains grammatical completeness. Also 'really well' is conversational; 'very well' is slightly more formal. Suggestion: include the subject for clarity in time clauses.
× I often listen to music while I'm do a small test like cleaning or driving or umm, playing.
✓ I often listen to music while I do small tasks like cleaning, driving, or playing.
'I'm do' is ungrammatical; use 'I do' or 'I'm doing'. 'a small test' is incorrect word choice; 'small tasks' or 'small chores' is appropriate. Also clean up fillers and use consistent verb forms. Suggestion: use correct progressive or simple form and choose the correct noun ('tasks'/'chores').
× But I don't listen to music while I'm working or studying because I need to concentrate and music distracts me.
✓ But I don't listen to music while I'm working or studying because I need to concentrate and music distracts me.
Sentence is grammatically correct; no change needed. However, if improving flow, 'music distracts me' is fine. No action required per instructions.
