This standard asks you to perform music using specific skills that match a particular music style — whether that's waiata, hip-hop, classical, or anything else. You need to show that you can identify the style, understand what skills it needs, and then actually use those skills when you play or sing. You must also show that you're listening carefully and using your ear as part of your performance.
