Yesterday, something magical happened in our MuJong™ playroom.
Kiki, our 8-year-old founder, welcomed a very special guest: Mr Ong Ting Kai, music educator from Pasir Ris Secondary School. A passionate advocate for music education and innovation, Mr Ong dropped by to experience MuJong™ firsthand… and walked away impressed.
We’re proud to share that Mr Ong sees real potential in MuJong™ as a fun and effective classroom tool, a sentiment that echoes our mission of turning music theory from a daunting subject into an engaging, interactive experience.
Music Meets Mahjong: A Teaching Revolution
Mr Ong sat down with Kiki and the team to try a full round of MuJong™. Within minutes, the table was filled with smiles, laughter, and a growing sense that this was more than just a game. It was an educational tool in disguise, cleverly designed to reinforce music theory concepts like note reading, keys, clefs, time signatures, rhythms, and accidentals.
Mr Ong, who teaches secondary school music students, remarked that MuJong™ has strong potential as a supplementary teaching aid. The game’s structured levels, ranging from beginner-friendly modes to advanced musical challenges, cater to a wide range of learning abilities and make it ideal for both classroom and CCA enrichment use.
A Proud Moment for Team MuJong™
For Kiki, this meeting was more than just a demo. It was a milestone.
Since her invention began as a spark of frustration with dry theory books, MuJong™ has grown into a real-world learning solution—now being seriously considered by secondary school educators for institutional adoption. It’s an encouraging development of our Mujong journey!
💡 Looking Ahead
We’re incredibly thankful to Mr Ong for his time, insights, and openness to innovation. His feedback strengthens our belief that MuJong™ can truly revolutionize how music is taught—and learned.
And to educators out there curious about MuJong™, we say: come play a round. You might just find your next classroom secret weapon hidden inside a turquoise box of tiles.
