"Correct" and "sounds good" are two different things

Learn Singing sounds odd to my ear (native US English, also lived in the UK). We use the infinitive in this context ("learn to sing"). For a book title it could be "Learn to Sing" or, if no teacher is involved, "Teach Yourself to Sing."
Perhaps it sounds odd to you because it's less frequently used, but I can assure you that the learn + -ING construction is perfectly valid.
It's certainly "valid," correct, etc. It just sounds odd standing all by itself as a book title. In a slightly longer title along the following lines, it wouldn't sound odd: "Learn Singing On Your Own," "Learn Singing the Suzuki Way," etc.
