What you've done is correct.
root is the user that owns the directory and music is the group that owns the 
directory, which is exactly what you want.
You will need to change the permissions if you want to allow people in the 
music group to write to it (at the moment they can read it and enter the 
directory only):

chmod g+w music

David.
