For a white background, there's no need to try to use that magic wand. Those are useful tools, but in this case, simply changing the blend mode of your music layer should do the trick. If there are any imperfections left, you can use your eraser tool.

I belong to a theatre group and would like to change the color of the notes
do I need to delete the white and then save it as a png?

You might want to try an adjustment layer, levels, and tweak the image to make any "gray" at the edges of notes and the staff disappear. JPG images almost always have a little interference pattern at the edges that's problematic, since they are compressed files. It will also vary depending on the resolution at which you scanned the page.
After that, you could try the magic wand, Contiguous NOT checked, and adjust the sensitivity. If you have your image VERY enlarged, you'll be able to see the difference in what's selected.
Another trick is to select the black instead of the white. You can then click the Select menu, Refine Edge... and experiment with smoothing a little bit. Then INVERT the selection, CTRL + Shift + I, and cut the white away. You should see the checkerboard behind the image, not a solid background. If the background is still solid, you'll need to convert it to a layer and delete it.
When you're reasonably happy with it, save the result as a PNG. If it's less than 2500 pixels high and wide, you can even save it as a brush file.
Sometimes you just have to play with it. Hope this helps.

BUT what have I done wrong
I cut away all the white and did not end up with a transparent background
but a somewhat gray/black background??
that frustrating feeling when you are so close, but yet so far.
