    Music purchased from the iTunes store is already in iCloud.  If you delete it you will see an iCloud download symbol to redownload it.  Note: you will have to download the music to your device to play it.

     

    To get music from other sources (such as your CDs) into iCloud you have to subscribe to iTunes Match (http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  Be aware though, that even with iTunes Match when you play songs they are downloaded to your device in the background.  It does, however, enable you to access your entire library from iCloud (with some limitations) without having to store it all on your phone ahead of time.
