Answer

You sing TO someone (as you would talk TO someone) if you are singing ONLY for that ONE person.

You sing FOR a reason.  You can sing for someone's benefit, honor, or entertainment.  You can sing for your dinner or for money.

Answer

"to sing for" implies it is like a gift, or it is special for them. "to sing to" implies that you are singing directly to them, face-to-face.

Answer

Both make perfect sense.

Answer

The difference is subtle.

FOR - indicates your reason for singing.

TO - basically indicates which direction you sing.
