× I prefer hearing music on my moods.
✓ I prefer listening to music according to my mood.
The phrase 'prefer hearing' is awkward; English commonly uses 'prefer listening to' for the activity. 'On my moods' is incorrect preposition and plural; use 'according to my mood' or 'depending on my mood' to express variation. Use singular 'mood' when referring to one's current emotional state. Suggestion: Use 'I prefer listening to music according to my mood' or 'I prefer to listen to music depending on my mood.'
× I usually hear a happy songs because it will boost up my mood and make me happy.
✓ I usually listen to happy songs because they boost my mood and make me happy.
Multiple issues: 'a happy songs' mixes singular article with plural noun; remove 'a' and use plural 'songs'. 'hear' is less natural than 'listen to' for music preference (Verb + -ing or verb + to-infinitive context). Use present tense 'boost' not 'will boost' because this is a habitual action. Use plural pronoun 'they' to refer to 'songs'. Also remove redundant 'up' in 'boost up'. Suggestion: 'I usually listen to happy songs because they boost my mood and make me happy.'
× But also I don't hear a sad song frequently because it motivates me and make uh instills uh negative thoughts.
✓ But I don't often listen to sad songs because they make me feel down and instill negative thoughts.
Again 'hear a sad song' should be 'listen to sad songs'. 'Don't ... frequently' word order: use 'don't often' or 'often don't'. 'It motivates me' contradicts meaning; likely intended 'it discourages' or 'it makes me feel down'. 'make uh instills uh negative thoughts' combines verbs incorrectly; choose one verb and ensure subject-verb agreement: 'they instill negative thoughts.' Use 'make me feel down' or 'instill negative thoughts.' Remove filled pauses 'uh'. Suggestion: 'But I don't often listen to sad songs because they make me feel down and instill negative thoughts.'
× Yes, I actually get excited while listening happy music.
✓ Yes, I actually get excited while listening to happy music.
Missing preposition 'to' after 'listening'. Correct form is 'listening to' when followed by a noun. Keep present simple 'get excited' for habitual response. Suggestion: 'I get excited while listening to happy music.'
× I especially hear a Tamil music and sometimes Hindi music.
✓ I especially listen to Tamil music and sometimes to Hindi music.
Do not use the indefinite article 'a' before uncountable or genre nouns like 'music'. Use 'listen to' rather than 'hear'. Include 'to' after 'listen' and optionally after 'sometimes'. Suggestion: 'I especially listen to Tamil music and sometimes to Hindi music.'
× Because music has the power to change your mindset and reduce your negative thoughts.
✓ Music has the power to change your mindset and reduce negative thoughts.
This fragment begins with 'Because' but stands alone as a sentence; either attach it to the previous sentence or remove 'Because' to make a full sentence. Also 'your negative thoughts' is acceptable but 'reduce negative thoughts' is more natural in this context. Suggestion: Combine with previous sentence or start: 'Music has the power to change your mindset and reduce negative thoughts.'
× Actually, when I was a child, I want to go to music class, but I joined a dance class, uh, so I can't uh, find time to join music class in the busy schedule.
✓ Actually, when I was a child, I wanted to go to music class, but I joined a dance class, so I couldn't find time to join music classes in my busy schedule.
Tense inconsistency: 'was a child' is past, so use past 'wanted' not 'want'. 'I joined' is past correct. Use past 'couldn't' for inability in that past period. 'music class' repeated; plural 'music classes' or 'a music class' is better. 'in the busy schedule' should be 'in my busy schedule'. Remove filled pauses 'uh'. Suggestion: 'When I was a child, I wanted to go to music class, but I joined a dance class, so I couldn't find time to attend music classes in my busy schedule.'
× Not frequently, because when I started to listen and music while doing some other things I used to distract.
✓ Not often, because when I start to listen to music while doing other things, I get distracted.
'Not frequently' is acceptable but 'Not often' is more natural. 'started to listen and music' is incorrect; use 'listen to music'. Tense: the general habit should be present simple 'when I start ... I get distracted' rather than past 'started' and 'used to distract'. Use correct verb 'get distracted' meaning passive experience. Also fix word order and remove extra 'and'. Suggestion: 'I don't often do that, because when I start to listen to music while doing other things, I get distracted.'
× I started to dance.
✓ I start dancing.
In context of habitual or general reaction during multitasking, present simple is better: 'I start dancing' or 'I begin to dance'. If referring to a past single event 'I started dancing' is correct; but combined with present explanation, change to present. Choose tense consistent with surrounding corrections. Suggestion: Use 'I start dancing' for general behaviour or 'I started dancing' if describing a past event.
× Because of this I started to hear music very little but to concentrate on my work more.
✓ Because of this, I listen to music much less so I can concentrate more on my work.
Tense and phrasing: 'started to hear music very little' is awkward. For current habitual result use present 'I listen to music much less'. 'but to concentrate on my work more' should be 'so I can concentrate more on my work' to show purpose/result. 'hear' -> 'listen to'. Suggestion: 'Because of this, I listen to music much less so I can concentrate more on my work.'
