Deleting large amount of music from iPhone

I had auto synch set to on between my Mac Book and iPhone. Over time this built up a huge library of music on my iphone (8000 songs). I still want to keep all the songs on my Mac Book, but only want to keep a a small number of songs on my iPhone and don’t want to delete them all then reload ones I want to keep. Is there a faster way to delete a large unwanted songs at once besides one song or album at a time?

Greetings DocCactusJalapeno,

You can learn how to delete music from your iPhone here:

Delete music in the Apple Music app - Apple Support

"Delete music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device

Open the Apple Music app.
Go to Library and tap Downloaded to see your downloads. On your iPad, tap Downloaded in the sidebar.
Find the song, album, or music video that you want to remove.
Touch and hold the item, then tap Remove.
Tap Remove Download to remove the item from only this device. Or tap Delete from Library to delete the item across all of your devices."

Take care.
