How do I restore my Music on iPhone 5c IOS 8.4.1 after I refused to purchase Apple Music?

I accepted the trial period of the new Apple Music app, however, I decided I do NOT want to subscribe to Apple Music, but when the trial period ended, it has removed ALL of my music, even music I loaded from CDs into iTunes. The Apple Music app just displays a screen: "Don't Miss a Beat" that will NOT allow you to listen to any music unless you PAY for a subscription to Apple Music! It is holding ALL of my music for RANSOM until I PAYUP! It removed all music and all Tones downloaded from iTunes onto my iPhone 5c IOS 8.4.1. IT's ALL GONE!!!

iPhone 5c, iOS 8.4.1, Apple Music Trial period ends

Hello ShilohToo,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I see you are not seeing your previously owned music on your iPhone after canceling your Apple Music subscription. If you remember when you signed in to Apple Music the first time, you also turned on iCloud Music Library. You will need to turn this off and sync your music as you did before Apple Music.

See this article for the sign up process and essentially do the reverse of how it is spelled out here. Then you can sync with iTunes to get your music back.

Sign in to Apple Music and turn on iCloud Music Library

Regards
