× If I have to choose, I would prefer happy music UMM because umm it provides me UMM with good melody and can boost my mood up.
✓ If I have to choose, I would prefer happy music because it provides me with a good melody and can boost my mood.
The original contains an unnecessary extra word 'UMM' and an awkward phrase 'mood up'. Remove filler words and use the correct collocation 'boost my mood' (do not add 'up'). Also add the indefinite article 'a' before 'good melody' for naturalness.
× Yes, absolutely. Uh, because happy music provides me umm, catchy rhythm and funny lyrics so it umm, perfectly make my day.
✓ Yes, absolutely. Because happy music provides me with a catchy rhythm and funny lyrics, it perfectly makes my day.
The sentence lacks the particle 'with' after 'provides me' and has subject-verb agreement error: 'it make' should be 'it makes' (third person singular). Also remove filler words and add commas for clarity.
× No, I haven't taken any musical classes before, but in the future I want to buy a guitar and want to go to a class where I be taught how to play a guitar.
✓ No, I haven't taken any music classes before, but in the future I want to buy a guitar and go to a class where I will be taught how to play it.
Use 'music classes' rather than 'musical classes' for natural phrasing. Change 'be taught' to the future passive 'will be taught' to match 'in the future'. Also avoid repeating 'want to' and replace 'play a guitar' with 'play it' to avoid repetition.
× Yes, absolutely. I always listen to music umm, while I do another thing, uh, for example, I always umm, choose my favorite song and then, uh, cooking or vacuum the house.
✓ Yes, absolutely. I always listen to music while I do other things. For example, I choose my favorite song and then cook or vacuum the house.
Replace 'another thing' with 'other things' for natural expression and use the base verbs 'cook' and 'vacuum' after 'then' to form parallel structure. Remove filler words. Ensure verb forms are consistent and the sentence is split for clarity.
