Welcome to NinSheetMusic! The world's largest video game sheet music resource for pianists

Hello everyone! Today I have some updates to share regarding our updating staff.

First, Maelstrom will switch over to being a Ghost Updater. Maelstrom has been on the staff as an Updater for over 5 years, and we owe him a lot for the countless sheets he’s reviewed, as well as help replacing many old sheets on the site. Please wish him a wonderful time in ghost land grad school! (He’s still very much alive, for now.)

Now, we’re having a new Updater join the team for the first time in a while! Bloop is a longtime community member with a recent increase in activity and desire to help out. Please give Bloop a warm welcome aboard the staff.

Times change, life goes on, and new sheets are added to NinSheetMusic. As always, look forward to more soon

Let's start the school year off strong by playing some sheets instead of studying! (we aren't liable for any reduction in your grades)

The sun rises, the seasons change, and EA puts out the same sports game with no changes from last year’s version. In a similar vein, it is a given that eventually staff for a website will step down for various reasons. Today, it is myself who will be stepping down as NinSheetMusic staff along with a few others. In total, the following staff members will become Staff Emeritus effective today:

• Yug Guy (Moderator)
• InsigTurtle (Ghost Updater)
• Bespinben (Ghost Updater)
• JDMEK5 (Ghost Updater)
• Brassman388 (Ghost Updater)

These staff members have all worked hard to get NinSheetMusic to where it is today, so it seems only fair for them to earn a well-deserved retirement, and a spot in the NSM Hall of Fame. We look forward to seeing what you guys do in the future! (and be sure to give us a shout-out if you make it big!)

Speaking personally, I really want to thank the NinSheetMusic community, past and present, for everything you’ve done. You guys have been a source of inspiration, learning, and most of all, an enduring friendship that I’m sure will last for years to come. For that, I am truly grateful.

As of right now, there is nothing to report in terms of any new members joining the staff. Like always, the staff will closely monitor the situation on-site and choose to add any new members should the need arise.

Well, that should be everything. Keep on being awesome, guys!

An unpleasant vibration reaches my ear.
A wrong note, a dissonant interval.
The cacophony of my fingers tripping over each other.
No matter how many times I try,
It never sounds good.

I play. I stop.
The music lingers in the air,
Marred by clumsiness.
It should be a masterpiece. But to me, it's unbearable.
I try to remember why I wanted to learn at all.
But no matter how far back I reach,
I can't find the answer.

But what's this? A new sheet?
Cautiously, I open it up.
Yet more notes upon notes,
Just like the last. But this one is different.
Chords shine on the page like vibrant colors. Rhythms take form like flowing brushstrokes.
The image stirs up the faint memory of an old song.
A melody sparks inside my head.

And before I realize it,
my fingers begin to move again.

Ta-daaaa! Today, thanks to Shampoodle Shamdeku, NinSheetMusic is getting a little makeover. The first thing you'll notice is the new hairdo colour scheme. Now you could say was done to improve visual harmony between the layout and the updated banner & logos etc etc, but really we just wanted to look FABULOUS!! I mean, who doesn't? Speaking of fabulous, we also felt that the "Other" page had spent too long lurking in the shadows and it was their time to shine. So we draaaagggged them out into the spotlight and ooooohhhhh, don't they look marvelous? And now the staff have all got their shiny badges out on display too! Whew, all this fabulousness is almost too much to bear...

There were some other, small, not-so-stylish changes that are hardly worth mentioning here but they will prepare us for future new hairdos updates, so stay tuned for more fabulousness!

Happy browsing!


Summary of changes:
- New colour scheme
- Markup improvements
- Fonts are now local
