if it's a raw basement with the upper floor joists visible, it wouldn't be that hard to deaden it to keep the sound out of the rest of the house. are the neighbors a problem, or are you underground enough not to worry about that?
it's good that you're thinking ahead. since you're in no hurry, you can take one phase at a time ... like maybe the ceiling being a priority, get that taken care of, then think about your corners, or your wall treatments, or whatever. 7-foot ceilings aren't ideal -- i know this because the Woodshed has a 7-foot ceiling -- but i'd sure rather have a music space with 7-foot ceilings than no music space at all!
keep us posted as to your plans and progress, i'm sure plenty of people will jump in with (hopefully low-cost) ways to proceed.
