Share a Family Plan
Apple Music has a Family Plan that allows up to 6 people to share one subscription. If someone in your family already pays for the Family Plan, you may be able to join for free. Ask the plan organizer to add you.
You can get Spotify Premium for free as well, learn more about it here.
Those are some of the main ways to get free access to Apple Music temporarily.
