Willow gets stage fright, which was first hinted at in 1.09 The Puppet Show when she ran terrified from the stage during a talent contest. In 1.10 Nightmares, Willow was forced to sing a piece from Puccini’s Madame Butterfly on stage but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out. Her stage fright was also explored in the episodes 4.22 Restless (when she was in front of her class and everyone was laughing at her) and - to a lesser extent - in 6.07 Once More, With Feeling when she was the only main character not to sing a great deal.
In 4.20 The Yoko Factor, Tara suggested to Willow that she take sophomore Psych but Willow suggested drama instead. In 5.02 Real Me we saw Willow berate Buffy as the Slayer didn’t have the time to take drama class with her. In 4.22 Restless, Willow has a dream about having stage fright about the drama class, who are performing a play without actually having any classes.

I think that she didn’t sing much was because she doesn’t sing well. I can totally relate.
