Winter is officially here! ❄️ It’s time to sing songs about snow days, winter coats, and staying warm! There are so many heartwarming Oldies that were meant for this time of year. Some of the common jazz standards from this era are now recognized as popular Christmas songs such as “Winter Wonderland”, “Let it Snow”, and “Sleigh Ride”. I wanted to create a playlist of songs that were winter-themed but not typically associated with Christmas to use in music therapy sessions outside of the holiday season.

‘Tis the season for sleigh bells! 🔔“Sleigh Ride” is a fun winter song that can be used in both individual and group sessions!

If your primary instrument was in the band or orchestra, you may have played this piece a few times in holiday recitals.
