I have composed eight songs and now want them to introduce in the music market but before that I want to make copyright of them so that to avoid its duplicity. Can anyone help me to find out where I can get the copyrights for my music?

where do you live because copyright laws are a little different in every country

They are already copyrighted since you made them. They are copyrighted just like software. Just be sure you have proof that you made them in case you should have to prove they are yours.

What Works Are Protected?
Copyright protects “original works of authorship” that are fixed in a tangible form of expression. The fixation need not be directly perceptible so long as it may be communicated with the aid of a machine or device. Copyrightable works include the following categories:

http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#wwp

literary works;
musical works, including any accompanying words
dramatic works, including any accompanying music
pantomimes and choreographic works
pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works
motion pictures and other audiovisual works
sound recordings
architectural works
These categories should be viewed broadly. For example, computer programs and most “compilations” may be registered as “literary works”; maps and architectural plans may be registered as “pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works.”

My cousin who is also a music composer faced the same problem when he first time made his compositions released that time he came across an online service Copyright that really helped him to make the copyright of his compositions. I will recommend you also the same service so that you can also make the copyright of your compositions. All the best!
