Darren Ang - Accessible VGM Piano Sheets

Hi everyone, some more serious news today; it's a more personal announcement that involves winding down the channel. Thought of doing a video update, but a wall of text probably works for now.

The short of it is: I'm not really into VGM anymore. It's been about a year of kicking the can down the road, filming massive albums during the college vacations and preparing entire series of videos in advance—but I think the time has come for me to finally throw in the towel.

Starting from today, I will be slowly bringing my VGM piano covers journey to a close. I still have about ten videos or so left (some remaining PMD videos and the Sinnoh Edition 2 album), and I will be releasing these at my own pace, without a schedule. In the meantime, I'm thinking about what I can do with this channel and the wonderful communities I have been blessed with on Discord and here on Youtube.

This does not mean that I will be closing down my channel, or my website and sheet music downloads! All my sheets and videos will always remain free, and I will not be pulling my accounts off online stores anytime soon. In fact, I'm not going to quit music—it's just that I've pretty much accomplished my mission on the VGM side of things. Having released almost 200 sheets (mostly Pokemon), which will always remain free, I'd like to finally respond to my callings towards other things.

Please don't worry about me; my life has been absolutely amazing. I'm not even going to drop off Youtube: I will still be doing law videos on my "What Is Law Even" accounts, and I intend to do a series on Youtube copyright rules at some point. I also have an album in the works—evidence that I'm not disappearing from the Internet yet! All I will be doing is winding down my VGM journey and moving towards other things.

I will bring you all further updates (along with a crash course on copyright!) in due time. But for all of you who have read this far, thank you. Thank you for being a part of my mission and this amazing community, which has been monumental to my life. It has been an amazing journey.

As a final note, our Discord community will still be operating in full swing, so you're more than welcome to join us with the link in any of my video descriptions! I'll be hanging around there in the background, and it really is an amazing place.

But with that all said—thank you for watching, and have an awesome day ahead.

Cheers,
Darren

You've already made such a huge impact and have a wonderful collection of free VGM sheets so I absolutely do think you've accomplished that goal (I had a streamer sight read national park and he was blown away at how good it looked and sounded). I am curious on what these upcoming projects are so please do keep us notified!

Thank you Darren for your sheet music and your covers. Although I'm not too dedicated to the piano I picked up playing the guitar again, especially for Pokémon Covers. Thank you for all your work! Greetings from Germany Klaus

It's really sad to hear that you're done with VGM, but you've done a tremendous amount of great work and personally helped me on my piano journey with your beginner sheets a lot. I'm happy for you in that you've reached a point of "yep, this is what I hoped to achieve here and I want to move on' - I can really respect that. Good luck with your future endeavours!
