The Double Koko is a collection of creative and critical projects in classroom music. Fifty years of sound and silence edited by John Finney. Chris Philpott with Jason Kubilius.

There has been an ongoing sense in English music education that a creative and critical approach to learning should be at the heart of effective teaching. The Double Koko is a collection of articles and case studies that explores this approach in detail. The book is divided into three sections: 'Creative Approaches to Learning', 'Critical Approaches to Learning' and 'Creative and Critical Approaches to Composition'.

The first section, 'Creative Approaches to Learning', explores the use of creativity in the classroom. The articles in this section discuss how creativity can be used to engage students, develop their musical skills and foster their personal and social development. The second section, 'Critical Approaches to Learning', explores the use of critical thinking in the classroom. The articles in this section discuss how critical thinking can be used to help students develop their understanding of music, their ability to evaluate music and their ability to make informed decisions about music.

The third section, 'Creative and Critical Approaches to Composition', explores the use of both creative and critical thinking in the classroom. The articles in this section discuss how creative and critical thinking can be used to help students develop their compositional skills. The Double Koko is an essential resource for music educators who are interested in developing a creative and critical approach to teaching.
