No, not all music is copyrighted. Any music that you hear on the radio or buy on the internet is probably got a copyright on it.

The only things that will not have a copyright will be music for which the copyright has expired. The laws have changed, but in general, anything published prior to 1923 has entered the public domain. Anything published since then is likely protected for the life of the creator plus 70 years.

And anytime you create something, whether it is a book, or writing, or web page or music, you have a copyright to that item.

No, because names, titles and common words/phrases are not eligible for copyright protection.
