Can anyone help?


Seems if you have set up Family sharing correctly before subscribing, and invited family, they should be able to access the music automatically.


As something is not working for them:

You might want to check through Apple support's online articles


Set up Family Sharing – Apple Support

Eg: tells what to do after they accept the invitation or how to resend the invitation


or

What to do: If you can't find your family's shared content - Apple Support

NB:

says: "To access your family's shared content, you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later, or a Mac using OS X Yosemite or later. If you're using an older device, you won’t see your family’s shared content".


or

If your Mom or best friend have an Android phone:

Use Family Sharing with Apple Music on Android - Apple Support


If needed:

There's a "Get Support" link at the bottom of the Music Support webpage:

All the best :-)
