The application of the Teacher Behaviour and Gesture framework across instrumental music pedagogical settings (one-to-one, small and large teaching groups and across singing, woodwind, brass, strings, and other pedagogical contexts) will bring understandings on the role of teachers¡¯ gestures in their pedagogical interactions with students, with implications for student learning and instrumental music teachers¡¯ teaching and education %K action %K categorisation %K demonstration %K gesture %K instrumental music teaching %K teaching behaviours %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1029864917743089
