Yes, you need to purchase one Music Teacher’s Digital Library (MTDL) subscription per teacher @ $199.95 per year.

The library subscription is not a standalone product rather it is access to the extensive resource library which is given to each teacher within their own DSMusic account.

If you’d like to proceed, each teacher can purchase the MTDL subscription directly from within their own account using credit card or paypal.

If you’d prefer to use a school order number, contact us here and let us know the email addresses of the teacher account holders (make sure accounts have been created using these email addresses!) and we will email you an invoice and give MTDL access to those accounts.

You must register your DSMusic Print Product using a Digital Access Code in order to access the relevant digital content. 

Digital Access Codes (also called eBook Access Codes or Unique Access Numbers) are located in the bottom right corner of the title page of your print book or on the back of an access card under a scratch off panel.

If the purchaser of the product is not the intended user, make sure you complete the following steps in the user’s DSMusic account. 

1. Log into the user’s account on the DSMusic website;

As far as purchasing products is concerned – that can be done through any account as the digital products themselves are not stored until someone activates the codes that are emailed to that purchaser.

If several teachers are going to need access to those digital resources then we recommend you create a “storage” account on the DSMusic website, using a generic, admin type email address – something like music@yourschool.vic.edu.au (that won’t expire when a specific teacher leaves) – with a generic password that all teachers who need access know (e.g. MUSIC123).

Note – whoever receives emails sent to this generic, admin type email address must remain subscribed to receive emails from DSMusic and will need to forward them onto the music teachers as they often contain important information regarding using products.

If you need further assistance, after reading the steps above, please contact us.

Teachers and school staff can purchase items from the DSMusic Shop using a school order number at the checkout page. Once the order has been received an invoice will be generated for the school to pay and the product(s) will be shipped to you and/or you will be able to activate and download any digital products you have purchased.

You can also use PayPal or Direct Debit at checkout and you will have access to the product downloads following activation as soon as the order has been processed (immediately if paid with PayPal, usually within 24 hours for school order number purchases and when they are received by DSMusic for direct debit payments).

If you’ve purchased digital products, see the other FAQ for more information about activation keys, or below:

1. Log into your account on the DSMusic website;
2. Click on “MY ACCOUNT” at the top right of the website home page and then click “My Purchased Digital Codes & Activation” from the left-hand menu;
3. Enter the Digital Product Key (16 numbers and letters separated by hyphens e.g. 436H-EM45-ZMFP-129G)
4. Click “SUBMIT”

If you have bought a second hand book but would like to access the digital products that came with the new version email info@dsmusic.com.au with your name, the title of the book and the unique access number in the book. It will cost $10.00 for you to re-activate these digital resources.
