× Well, I prefer happy music because it helps me to unwind and relax after my hectic work and also when I go to travelling then I used to play some music.
✓ Well, I prefer happy music because it helps me unwind and relax after my hectic work, and when I travel I play some music.
The sentence contains incorrect verb forms and awkward phrasing. 'Helps me to unwind' -> 'helps me unwind' (both acceptable but shorter form preferred). 'When I go to travelling' is incorrect; use 'when I travel' (present simple for habitual actions). 'I used to play some music' implies a past habit; the intended meaning is a current habit, so use 'I play some music'. Also removed redundant 'to' and improved coordination with a comma.
× Yes of course happy music make me feel more excited because I can enjoy myself and it also to get relief from stress when I went to outside then I listen prefer music.
✓ Yes, of course happy music makes me feel more excited because I can enjoy myself, and it also helps me get relief from stress; when I go outside I prefer to listen to music.
Subject 'happy music' is singular, so the verb must be 'makes' (subject-verb agreement). 'It also to get relief' is ungrammatical; use 'it also helps me get relief'. 'When I went to outside' mixes past tense and wrong preposition; use present simple 'when I go outside' for habitual actions and 'outside' without 'to'. 'I listen prefer music' is wrong order and missing preposition; correct is 'I prefer to listen to music'.
× Yes, currently I am joining a music coaching institute which is located in city center and it helps me to learn about music skills and enhance my confidence as well.
✓ Yes, currently I am attending a music coaching institute located in the city center, and it helps me learn musical skills and enhances my confidence.
'Joining' can be used but 'attending' is clearer for ongoing classes. 'Which is located in city center' needs articles: 'in the city center'. 'Helps me to learn about music skills' is awkward; use 'helps me learn musical skills'. Ensure agreement: 'helps ... and enhances my confidence' to match subjects and verbs.
× Well it depends on the situation. When I was working in a kitchen then I prefer to listen music.
✓ Well, it depends on the situation. When I am working in a kitchen, I prefer to listen to music.
The tense should be present for habitual or general situations: 'When I am working' (present continuous for actions happening while working) or 'When I work'. 'I prefer to listen music' is missing the preposition 'to' after 'listen'; correct is 'listen to music'. Removed unnecessary 'then'.
× After that when I going outside for evening walk then I listen pop music which lifted my mood.
✓ After that, when I go outside for an evening walk, I listen to pop music which lifts my mood.
'When I going' is missing auxiliary; use 'when I go' (present simple) for habitual action. 'Evening walk' needs an article: 'an evening walk'. 'I listen pop music' requires 'to': 'listen to pop music'. 'Which lifted my mood' uses past tense incorrectly for a habitual or general result; use 'which lifts my mood'. Also removed unnecessary 'then'.
