adding music to iMovies

I have Apple Music, I have a new iMac Pro, I have a series of pictures in iMovies and have added some free sample downloaded music but would like to add more... Ive tried almost everything and now I'm stuck... :(

Could someone explain how I can access my Music from iMovies?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

You can’t. Apple Music is a streaming sevice designed for personal listening, not for use in applications. Also, songs in Apple Music are Digital Rights Management protected, and thus not useable in iMovie. You can, however, use iTunes songs in iMovie if purchased after year 2009.
