Hi there! (longman dictionary online)
 
sing somebody something Come on, sing us a song!
I �ve never been able to sing in tune (=sing the correct notes).
She patiently sang the baby to sleep.
 
sing along phrasal verb
to sing with someone else who is already singing: Sing along if you know the words.
sing along to Jess was singing along to the radio.
 
P.S: But I�ve heard "sing in duet". Best wait for Native speakers.

I wouldn �t say "sing in duo" or "sing in duet", but "sing in a duo/duet" or "sing as a duo/duet".

This is how I use the word:
They sang a duo.
They sang in unison. (the same notes)
They sang in tune. (the correct notes - not out of tune or off key)
 
She sings duets with her sister.
She and her sister sing together as a duo.
 
He sings in a trio.
He sings in a quartet.
 
I don �t say �in a duet �, since there are only two people,  (not enough to be a group that you can be in) but others might use it that way.
