breaking up iTunes account

my daughter has been on my iTunes account for years and our music libraries are intermixed. Can she create her own account and separate herself from my account without losing all her music?

Yes she can (and should) get her own Apple ID, as all settings relating to Apple ID are individual by design. Depending on her age, that may require adult consent/supervision.

Keeping all her music isn’t automatic. She could manually add it again, or have you share that selection through one or more playlists. Create and share playlists - Apple Support
