Q: I want to set up a separate itunes account from my kids but share all the music I have bought - how can I do this?

I am trying to set up a different itunes account from my kids so I don't have to share contacts, calendar, etc. but I still want to maintain access to all the music I have purchased.  Is this possible?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3, Also Macbook Pro and Ipad 2
