I believe the answer is:

sight-read

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'perform' is the definition.
(sight-reading is a kind of performing)

'extemporaneously express displeasure and walk' is the wordplay.
'extemporaneously express displeasure' becomes 'sigh' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'walk' becomes 'tread' (treading is a kind of walking).
'sigh'+'tread'='SIGHT-READ'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sight-read that I've seen is " Interpret music without preparation".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
