Answer:
First, you need to know the difference between a trademark and a copyRIGHT. I suggest you start by reading the information here:

Then, once you know the difference, the US Copyright office is here:
http://www.copyright.gov/
If you want to copyright music, you should know that it is automatically copyrighted as soon as it's in some fixed form. But for a fee you can register your copyright online.
The Patent and Trademark Office is here:
