I have been self teaching myself how to read music. Its pretty much like any language. You have to really try and immerse yourself in it to learn how to speak the language.
Yesterday, I was learning blues from a book written for guitarists. I don't play guitar so the tabs are fairly useless to me (to date).
They had a page of riffs to try and I just started playing from reading the music. I hadn't realized I was reading music until about halfway through.
It was both the tone and the timing that I was working on.
I had a blast and it made it faster to learn those riffs.
I had noticed my music abilities had improved because I can learn things faster. I attribute it to learning how to read standard notation music.
