More than likely the Apple Music is an Individual plan. When joining Family Sharing, the organizer of the plan can share their subscriptions with others, but Apple Music requires the Family plan to share, which does cost more than the Individual Apple Music plan.


For more information and steps to upgrade to the Family Apple Music plan, follow this Support Article.
