× Yes, I like singing 'cause it's a art of music.
✓ Yes, I like singing 'cause it's an art of music.
The word 'art' begins with a vowel sound, so the indefinite article 'a' should be replaced with 'an' to be grammatically correct.
× I would sing for people who couldn't sing for themselves back in the olden days.
✓ I would sing for people who couldn't sing by themselves back in the olden days.
The phrase 'sing for themselves' is incorrect because 'for' implies doing something on behalf of someone else. The correct preposition is 'by' to indicate doing something independently.
× If it's a pop music, yes.
✓ If it's pop music, yes.
The word 'music' is an uncountable noun and does not require the indefinite article 'a'. Also, 'pop' functions as an adjective here and does not need an article before 'music'.
× If, but if it's a sad, probably no.
✓ But if it's sad, probably not.
The phrase 'a sad' is incorrect because 'sad' is an adjective and cannot stand alone as a noun with an article. Also, 'probably no' should be 'probably not' to correctly negate the statement.
