Reading music really isn't all that hard. It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift. Well sort of.. But there are only so many notes. It's not all that hard. Learn the key signatures, know a bit about time signatures, and you're there. It's not like reading Arabic.
Reading it and playing it can be a different thing.
One of the wonderful things about sheet music is that you have geniuses down the ages communicating things to you. For example, Beethoven writing: "Don't play a cadenza, play this instead" and then he writes out a cadenza. And you feel connected to Beethoven through him being so human and irrational.
