  I'm guessing that no matter what Jewish music course one wants to teach, the 
modes of prayer are going to be a central theoretical premise.  Beyond that, 
depending on the precise nature of the course, just about everything else is 
going to be negotiable and contingent.

  This is a great discussion, one which I think will benefit everyone on this 
list, even those for whom such course might seem a peripheral interest.

  To digress from the subject at hand, I had quite an experience two weeks ago 
in Vancouver performing my Bosnia Blues, a piece that also references the 
Holocaust and Israel if I were to discuss this on the list, I'd be dealing with 
the text more than the music and the response from my mostly Canadian audience. 
If there's interest and that wouldn't be regarded as off-topic, I'd like to 
share it.  Your thoughts please?
