Ok, but the sentences are not correct Spanish. Have a look at this and the translation: Sus padres le dan falda y blusa - Her parents give her skirt and blouse. Isn't there something missing?

Ambarina gave the correction for this sentence in post #2.
No article is needed before música, and no preposition should follow escuchar when the direct object is inanimate. Escuchar translates as to listen to in English. However, a personal a is required when the direct object is a person (or something pertaining to that person).
Juan está escuchando música. = John is listening to music.
Juan está escuchando su consejo. = John is listening to his/her/your/its counsel.
Juan está escuchando a su mamá. = John is listening to his mom.
Juan está escuchando a su corazón. = John is following his heart.
