This standard asks you to understand and explain the key techniques and processes used in indigenous music (Ngā Toi Pūoro). You need to show what these techniques look like in real music examples, and explain how they work within their proper cultural context. Basically: learn the techniques, identify them in music, and explain why they matter in their own setting.
