Making a playlist is a musical way to process emotions, relive memories, express ourselves, and share our feelings with others. Having a playlist for events or seasons can also be helpful for transitioning into a new time of year. Every year in December, I invite my clients who celebrate Christmas to create a themed playlist in their sessions and I encourage them to select songs that are meaningful to them or their families. This year, I decided to put a fun twist on a Christmas playlist intervention by creating a gingerbread-themed printable to use as a visual aid in my sessions.

Musical 'I Spy' has become one of the most popular listening worksheets that I use in my music therapy sessions. It's a helpful visual aid that can increase a client's engagement, attention to task, comprehension, communication, and more!
