I've checked the videos and the information is there.

For the first question of your post, they refer to the object you instantiate (with $query = new ******( $args ) ).

The second question is exactly the same case as the videos from the course. You just have to specify the variable containing your custom query (without forgetting "->")

For the third question, they ask you how would you name the single.php file for the custom post type "music". When you query a page which is a custom post type, wordpress will look for a file named like single-{custom-post-type}.php

Hope that makes sense and that I don't give away the answers completely.
