Yes, I enjoy singing, but usually I prefer to sing when I'm alone because I feel quite a shy and self-conscious when people around me. For example, I often sing in my room where I feel comfortable and free to express myself thinking a housemaid to relax and improve my mood. Which is why.

Oh that's a great question. I'm really a very quiet and reserved person so I don't think I could sing for anyone because I feel really self-conscious when people are around me. For example, even in small groups I tend to get nervous and preferred to sync refer to listen rather than perform.

× I feel quite a shy and self-conscious when people around me.
✓ I feel quite shy and self-conscious when people are around me.
The article 'a' is incorrectly used before the adjectives 'shy' and 'self-conscious'. These adjectives describe feelings and do not require an article. Also, the verb 'are' is missing after 'people' to complete the sentence properly.
× For example, I often sing in my room where I feel comfortable and free to express myself thinking a housemaid to relax and improve my mood. Which is why.
✓ For example, I often sing in my room where I feel comfortable and free to express myself, thinking it helps me to relax and improve my mood. That is why.
The phrase 'thinking a housemaid' is unclear and likely a mishearing or typo. It should be corrected to 'thinking it helps me' to make sense. Also, the sentence fragment 'Which is why.' should be connected properly to the previous sentence for clarity.
× I enjoyed matching the tune an improving my pitch.
✓ I enjoy matching the tune and improving my pitch.
The verb 'enjoyed' is in the past tense, but the context suggests a habitual action, so the present tense 'enjoy' is appropriate. Also, 'an' should be 'and' to connect the two actions.
× practicing like this helps me to have fun and all of my musical year.
✓ practicing like this helps me to have fun and enjoy all of my musical years.
The phrase 'all of my musical year' is incorrect; it should be plural 'years' to indicate a period of time. Also, adding 'enjoy' clarifies the meaning.
× I tend to get nervous and preferred to sync refer to listen rather than perform.
✓ I tend to get nervous and prefer to sing or listen rather than perform.
The verb 'preferred' is past tense but should be present tense 'prefer' to match 'tend to get nervous'. Also, 'sync refer to listen' is unclear and likely a typo; it should be 'sing or listen'.
× I'm not sure like every, I'm not sure whether everything person like singing or not, but I can say for sure that music is very, very therapeutic to everybody and in the scientifically proven.
✓ I'm not sure if everyone likes singing or not, but I can say for sure that music is very, very therapeutic to everybody and it is scientifically proven.
The phrase 'like every' is incorrect; it should be 'if everyone likes'. 'Everything person' should be 'everyone'. Also, 'in the scientifically proven' is incorrect and should be 'it is scientifically proven'.
× So whatever involves music, for example playing a guitar or listening to music can improve people.
✓ So whatever involves music, for example playing the guitar or listening to music, can improve people's well-being.
The sentence is incomplete and unclear. Adding 'people's well-being' clarifies what is improved. Also, 'playing a guitar' is better as 'playing the guitar' when speaking generally.
