There's an article/number mismatch: 'a lively songs' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'songs'. Remove 'a' and use 'lively songs'. Also 'which helps' should be 'which help' because it refers to two plural items (songs and music), so the verb should be plural ('help'). Add a comma before 'which'. Suggestion: ensure articles match noun number and subordinate clause verb agrees with its antecedent. Grammar problem type ID:1
