Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities aysiafromavondale,
I understand that you have a question about sharing a Apple Music account. I use Apple Music with my family members, so I'd be happy to help you with getting this set up.
First, you'll want to make sure that the Apple Music membership that she has is a familly account and not an individual account.
If it is an individual account, the following article will help with changing the account type.
