Hello Russcarla,

Thanks for your question. You can use Apple Music on an Android phone. You can join an existing Family Membership with your Android phone if you are not the organizer of the group. However, to create a Family Sharing Membership (you would be the organizer, the one responsible for the charges made to the iTunes Store account) - you will need an Apple device or a Windows PC. The resources below will explain this in more detail:

If you have an Apple Music Individual Membership and want to become the organizer of a Family Membership, you’ll need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8 or later, or a Mac with OS X Yosemite or later.
