emilia's notebook
release date: April 2002
Fall 2002 Parents Choice Award winner

  emilia's notebook is an innovative children's CD that teaches the alphabet, the days of the week, and the numbers in English, Spanish, French and Greek.

The work was conceived, composed, performed and produced by Paul Voudouris, a recording artist with a full and varied career. He is most well known for 'Europa' and 'Enchantment', his new age collaborations with Chris Spheeris.

Before his music career flourished, Paul was an English teacher at the high school and adult levels. This project has allowed him to combine his knowledge and experience of education and language formation with his love of music.

The result is emilia's notebook, a work of love for his daughter, and a gift from Emilia to the children of the world.

"My grandson listened to it four times, very intently... as if he was taking a class. He was very, very interested... with this child the goals are fulfilled - IT WORKS!!"

"...delighted with the melodies and the sense of the CD... a warmth, sincerity and freshness..."

Ediciones Samara

"...the beautiful, different, educational, melodic, rhythmic CD that I love so much, "emilia's notebook"... It's so catchy and necessary... the voice is so beautiful, lulling, gentle, sweet or forceful, commanding, strong... so important to expose children to this... It's really different... and works... you want to listen to it... you want to sing along with it..."

Maternity Quarterly

"An absolute delight, emilia's notebook had both my niece and I captivated. This witty, multi-language musical endeavor makes learning other languages easy and fun. When your child asks to hear it over and over again, for a change you'll be pleased."
