Q: Privacy with Apple Music family sharing?

So my mother just got apple music family sharing for 6 people and she's asking me why I don't want to use it etc.

 

The reason is, is to get Apple Music from her phone (the family sharing thing she's set up with apple music) I'll have to join their family sharing so therefore they'll be able to see all my apps and use my apps, there are certain apps that would cause a lot of trouble that other family members can't know are on my phone so the privacy is an issue with me joining the family sharing/apple music family deal.

 

Is there a way I can do it without having to share all my apps, music, photos etc and just keep everything to myself from everyone in the family sharing but still use the apple music?

 

Thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 9.3.5
