Just in case you are one of those people who actually read Apple's documentation (which I am guessing some people reviewing this may not) you may wish to note this somewhat confusing statement from: Use Family Sharing with Apple Music on Android - Apple Support

which says:

"How to start and manage your own family group

When you get an Apple Music family subscription, you can start and manage a family group to share your subscription."
