Due to the specificity of music, bodily aspects are important in music education. These dimensions are present as gestures in both, in musical practice and in perception while teaching and learning. We should be able to get evidence of gestures as expressions of bodily aspects by using didactical transposition as the core concept. In the current research, performed by observation,14-15 year-old pupils participated in a case study with three interdisiplinary lessons by the theme „Free Jazz and Action painting“. Results suggest to use gestures more consciously during all the steps of the didactical transposition process, including the analysis of the art works.
