«Med joik som utgangspunkt» på HiNT 2013-14 er et studium utviklet av Frode Fjellheim og kanskje det eneste høgskolestudiet i verden der studentene får jobbe med joik som utgangspunkt for å skape ny musikk.
At the bottom of this is a solid introduction to yoik as a musical expression - and a basic introduction to Sami culture. Students can create their own yoiks, use elements from traditional yoik in new contexts and learn how Europe's oldest living music tradition can give you new musical ideas for your own music. the only university program in the world where students get to work with yoik as a starting point for creating new music.
Studiet har tidligere hatt studenter som har vært artister, lærere, administrative ansatte i kultursektoren og selvsagt musikkstudenter som tar dette som en del av en musiker eller musikklærerutdanning.
