You will create an original section of music for a Te Ao Haka item, using elements that reflect the kaupapa and convey the intended effect.
Part 1
Select a section of text from a Te Ao Haka item that you will write original music for. Deepen your knowledge of the kaupapa of your chosen text by doing research, or discussing the kaupapa with someone you trust, like a trusted whānau member, kaumātua, or friend.
You might also want to explore other Te Ao Haka items that share a similar kaupapa to yours, especially focusing on the musical components. As you listen, see if you can identify and describe any elements being used. Think about how they help express the kaupapa through the music.
Part 2
Now that you have chosen your text and are familiar with the kaupapa, consider:
- what you want your audience to understand and feel when they hear your music
- how you will communicate that understanding using elements of Te Ao Haka.
Write a first draft of your section of music that clearly reflects the kaupapa by combining a range of three or more elements. These elements should work together to strengthen your message and support the overall purpose of your music. After completing your draft, make notes describing the elements you have used, their purpose, and how they work together. Explain why this combination creates a particular effect on your music and how it might influence the audience’s response.
Part 3
You might ask someone you trust like a kaiako, whānau member, kaumātua, or friend, to listen to your draft. They could share what stands out to them, or what you could think more about. Use their feedback to make final changes to your musical composition.
Your final submission should also include a written explanation alongside your original music. In your submission, describe the range of elements you’ve used, what each one is for, and how they work together to reflect your kaupapa and create a strong overall musical effect. Explain why you chose those particular elements. Justify your selection in relation to what you hope your audience will think or feel when they hear your work.
If you choose to present your music aloud in class, consider preparing some notes to support your presentation. These notes can help you talk about the elements you’ve used, how they support your kaupapa and the intended effect of your piece.

How to present your learning
Create a section of original music for a Te Ao Haka item. This should be an ākonga-generated musical composition. Alongside your musical composition, include an explanation of the elements you’ve used.
The section of music should be approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute long. While collaborative work is permitted, assessment will focus on the contribution of each individual ākonga. It is important that individual input is clearly identifiable within the group context. A recording of the music section is also required to support assessor judgements and for moderation purposes.
The explanation should be around 350 words (or 2 minutes when spoken). You may submit this as written text, an audio recording, or as part of an oral presentation in class. If you are presenting live, you will play your original music aloud and talk about the elements you’ve used, how they support your kaupapa and the intended effect. A recording of your presentation is still required as evidence for assessment.

Examples of elements include:
- tempo
- rhythm
- melody
- voice
- harmony.
A more extensive list of elements is available within the Subject Glossary for Te Ao Haka: https://ncea.education.govt.nz/arts/te-ao-haka?view=subject-glossary
As you start to think about what your music will sound like, consider the following:
- what is the kaupapa of your item and how will your music communicate and support this kaupapa?
- will you use musical instruments, taonga puoro, or vocal techniques?
- what sounds or styles will help express your kaupapa?
- how will you express Te Ao Māori through your music?
- will you include traditional forms like mōteatea, haka, or waiata?
- what elements would effectively communicate this kaupapa?
- how could you best use these elements together in a piece of text?
- how does the use of a range of elements create an intended effect in relation to the kaupapa?
- can you justify your points?
