The verb to sing can be used as an intransitive or as a transitive verb. It is not primarily the verb itself that determines transitivity; it is whether or not the verb acts upon, or gives power or movement to an object. "He sings frequently." In this sentence, the verb tells us something about 'him', but there is no object. In this case the verb is intransitive. "He only sings songs written by Schubert." In this case, the verb has an object, songs, so it is transitive.
