That's not true. The Orcs sing many times. The goblins at Goblin-gate sing, and I believe the Orcs sing in Cirith Ungol (though surely nothing nice to hear). And the barrow-wights sing most definitely, what about this:

And even Sauron himself sings (in Silmarillion when he battles with Finrod), so I'm pretty sure even the Ringwraith would sing at certain times (also something like incantations). They'd make great sopranos
