My daughter already has an Apple Music subscription. If she joins my family sharing Apple Music plan and her own plan cancels, will she lose the music she has downloaded?

According to the footnote in the 'First, set up Family Sharing' section of:

Get an Apple Music family subscription - Apple Support

"If someone in the family group already has an individual or student subscription to Apple Music, renewal of that subscription is automatically canceled when they join the family group."

By following that procedure, her music library should be retained. Sometimes it is necessary to turn Sync Library off for all of her devices after joining, then turning it back on again.  Learn how.
