What to do
You will use elements to create an original piece of music for a section of an item of Te Ao Haka.
Part 1
Select a section of text from an item of Te Ao Haka 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 can also watch videos of your favourite items. Can you identify any elements and how they are being used through the music?
Part 2
Now that you have chosen your text and are familiar with the kaupapa, consider:
- what do 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 music, identifying and making notes about which elements you are using, how they are expressed in your music, and why. What effect do these choices have on your music and how an audience might respond?
Part 3
Ask someone you trust, like a kaiako, whānau member, kaumātua or friend to listen to your draft music. Do they have any feedback for what sounds good, or what could be stronger?
Taking in the feedback you receive, do some final revision work on your music.
Your final submission should also include a discussion of what three elements you have used, how you have used them, and in what way they help communicate your kaupapa. Explain why you chose those elements and what effects they have on your music.
You might choose to play your music out loud in class, in which case you should write down some notes so that you can talk about your use of elements as part of your presentation.

How to present your learning
Create a piece of original, student-generated music for a section of an item of Te Ao Haka. Accompany this with an explanation of use of elements in the music.
The section of music should be approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute, and the explanation should be around 350 words (or 2 minutes). This may be submitted as an audio recording, or as an oral presentation in class.
If you are submitting an audio recording of your music, your discussion of your use of elements might be part of the recording, or you might submit written text. If you are doing a presentation in class, you will play your original music out loud, and talk about your use of elements.

Getting started
In this Assessment Activity, you will express your creativity by using three elements to write original music for a section of an item of Te Ao Haka.
Examples of elements include:
- tempo
- dynamics
- characterisation
- voice
- point of view.
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 kaupapa of your item. What elements would effectively communicate this kaupapa through music? How could you best use these elements together in a song?
