Khomaya Khomaya: Jump Rope Song for Squid Game Season 3

“Khomaya Khomaya” is a traditional Korean jump rope song that existed long before it went viral through Squid Game Season 3. The lyrics describe a series of actions that players must perform while jumping, which can quickly become a fun and chaotic challenge, especially as the tempo picks up! Musically, the tune has a steady, military-like monotony, making it an ideal piece for beginner piano students. Its simplicity means fewer chord changes, which younger learners will find easier and more encouraging as they build confidence at the keys.

Piano lessons can help make the song more interesting

Our piano lessons go beyond just reading notes on a score — we place strong emphasis on creativity and improvisation. These skills are especially valuable for modern piano exams, such as those conducted by ANZCA. Rearranging a song challenges students to think critically and tap into their creative potential. Ultimately, our goal is to offer a holistic music education that empowers the next generation through music.

Below is a great example of how a pianist can transform and elevate a simple melody through creative rearrangement.
