Adding music to slideshow or video memories on iPad pro

I want to create slideshows with music on my iPad Pro. I own songs I bought on Apple Music. When I try to add my purchased music, there is no drop down screen to iTunes, nor to my music library where my songs reside. It offers canned music or suggestions to get you to subscribe to Apple Music. I am so frustrated that I am unable to add my own music. Can anyone show me step by step instructions how to fix this. My iPad pro is running the most iOS update and I am signed into iTunes with the same ID as my iPad. Thank you for any assistance.

iPad Pro (2nd generation)

Have you opened the Music app and downloaded any of your past purchases to your device? When I view Slideshow > Options > Music and scroll down there is a Music Library option that gives access to my library. That said I do have an active Apple Music subscription, so I cannot say for certain how it would behave if I didn't. Nothing in Play videos and slideshows in the Photos app on iPad - Apple Support suggests a dependency.
