Q: Transition single iTunes account to Family Sharing
Hello -
My family currently shares a single iTunes account for iTunes purchases (App Store and music).
I am considering changing to Family Sharing - so we can each still share purchases, but also sign up for Apple Music.
How do I go about making this change? Our family iTunes account could be the "master" account, with the other 4 "individual" accounts as members?
What does that transition look like?
thanks!
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), 2.66 C2D, 4GB, Samsung EVO SSD

You can set your self up as the Family Organizer, make new accounts for the kids, and add the kids to the Family Sharing group: Family Sharing - Apple Support
When you ask about "transition," you may be thinking that you can transfer past purchases to the kids' accounts. Past purchases cannot be transferred, but can be shared. Ditto for all future purchases, as long as the group stays together.
