Can't access main Apple Music account on second iPad

I want to be able to play Apple Music on a second iPad with my main Apple account. I’ve downloaded the app, but I can’t access my original account. The app only allows me to see my secondary account on the second iPad. Do I need to set up a second Apple account for the second iPad? I also have a family plan for AppleMusic.

iPad, iPadOS 26

Sign out of the secondary Apple ID in Settings → Apple ID and in Media & Purchases, then sign in with your main Apple ID. You do not need a second Apple ID to use Apple Music on multiple devices, even with a Family plan.
