Apple ID management for the family

Question

My family has been using one apple id for years, but we've outgrown it. how can I turn my one apple id into multiple id's? What I'd like to do is separate my daughter's music, and create accounts for them, and then have accounts for my wife and I. Is it possible? I don't want to have to purchase music twice.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
So whilst you all need to continue to use the current account you all use for iTunes, you should each create your own account for iCloud.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account"), then create a new account using the 'Create Apple ID' button.
