1. Click on “SIGN IN / JOIN” in the top right hand corner of the home page;

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.

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.
