Is there any limud z’chus?
Depends how loudly you read along when you get an Aliyah:

Megillah 21B. (Also see Rambam, SA & KSA on Kriyas HaTorah) If anything, he was correct in encouraging his congregation to sing along.
P.S. I did not see the video, but rather would like to discuss the Halachic aspect.
