Is it necessary to copyright a song to protect your work before you submit it to the music business reps. for acceptance? If so, what is the process? Thank you

Your piece already has what's called a poor man's copyright. Just keep a copy at home, dated, and you'll be fine. By the way, if they're a reputable company, they won't steal your music.
They'd be shooting themselves in the foot.

Absolutely!!! You must actually go through the copyright office first using a PA form....mailing a "copy" to yourself does not work.
I found a link with more info for you.

i dont know if its same for music as it is in copyrighting other htings but you start by going to your county's gov offices and checking that yr song is not already taken
