He played special music for me.
He sang a song to me.
He brought a rice cake for me.
It's not easy to explain which one to use under what circumstances!!

Both prepositions are correct in those sentences.
They have a slight difference of meanings in those sentences, but the difference is so slight as to be meaningless.

I agree with Writeacher for number 1. We would not usually use "to" in that sentence.
