Hello there, Mrxbreezy.
It sounds like you're wanting to know how the Student Membership for Apple Music works and how it relates to Family plans. The following Knowledge Base article provides some additional information:
Get an Apple Music Student Membership
If you're already an Apple Music member
If you have an Individual Membership to Apple Music, you can change to a Student Membership in the Music app or in iTunes on a computer. Learn how to manage your Apple Music membership on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC, or on an Android phone.
If you're a part of a family membership
If you’re already part of an Apple Music Family Membership, you probably don’t need a Student Membership.
If you're in a Family Sharing group, and you change to a Student Membership, your family organizer will be billed for both your Student Membership and the Family Membership to Apple Music.
If you’re the organizer of a Family Sharing group, and you change to a Student Membership, the rest of your group will lose access to Apple Music. The next time they sign in to Apple Music, each family member will see an option to join as an individual member. If you remain the family organizer, you'll continue to be billed for your Family Sharing group's iTunes purchases, including memberships and subscriptions.
