Yes, it is possible. Apple allows you to use your Apple Music subscription across multiple devices as long as they are signed in with the same Apple ID. However, the music libraries are synced across devices, so the same content is accessible on both, but each device can play its own selection at the same time without interference. This applies to both streaming from Apple Music and accessing your uploaded music through iTunes Match.

That is good news and information, how would I go about making it actually happen? I'm not tech illiterate or all thumbs, but I tried selecting different music on my iPhone while listening to music on my iPad and as sound as I selected for the music to play I received the error message "You've Reached Your Device Limit" and the playing on the iPad ceases. Thanks for your attention in this matter, and your exercise of patience with my novice experience. - MoMac55
