Singing is a great way to learn language skills and have fun. These songs are meant to be sung while sitting around having fun, not as performance pieces.

 

Downloadable Musik

Several downloadable MP3 files of the three competition Plattler as well as the Gauverband’s “Gauplattler,” which is a Schuhplattler unique to the Gauverband and done by all our member Vereine.
