Music-related Body Movement
A subset of musical gestures is what could be called music-related body movement, which can be seen from either the performer's or the perceiver's point of view:
- Performer - movements that are part of a music performance or a performance with music:
- Sound-producing: musician or actor creating musical sound.
- Sound-accompanying: dance or other types of movements that are linked to music.
- Perceiver - movements that are an integral part of music listening:
- Directly connected: dance, air performance
- Loosely connected: running, training.
- Grooving: tapping a foot, nodding the head, etc.
