90% practice on an instrument, or 90% practice in reading?
I meant that most of your benefit will come from sitting down and reading the music and playing it on the instrument.

To understand what those spots on the music page mean, would take you an hour or less. It's very simple. If you just want an intellectual understanding of it, so that you'll have the answer when your kids ask "Dad, what's this note?" you can learn that yourself on the Internet.

To be able to see a page of music and play that music on an instrument n real time is what takes a lot of time. And, of course, that's what's most rewarding.
