Add adult to family sharing without Apple Music?

I want to add my adult daughter to Family Sharing. That way, she can approve kids games they request. It is asking her to cancel her Apple Music subscription. She doesn't want to lose her music library she's built over many years and In totally agree. Can someone offer assistance or an easy answer? I thought I could just unselect Apple music, but that's part of the default group and I've been told I can't. I switched to Apple for things to be easy. Not feeling it with Family sharing so far. Thanks for any help.

She won't lose her library. She will just not have to pay for it any longer because apparently somebody in your Family Sharing group already has a family level subscription. Each person will have their own personal library and can download items others have purchased unless the other family members decide to hide them.

- You can share many subscriptions from Apple, like Apple TV+ and Apple Fitness+, with your family.

- "When you share subscriptions like Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, or Apple TV+, each person sees their own preferences and recommendations — not the whole family’s. And when you share an iCloud storage plan, family members can't see each others’ photos, files, or documents."

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap your name, then tap Family Sharing.

3. Tap Set Up Your Family, then follow the onscreen instructions and invite your family members.
