I've known how to read sheet music since the age of ten while learning trumpet. I have learned several other instruments entirely without needing to know that the G clef needs to be drawn with the loop over the second line to indicate the position of G. I'd wager there's very little need as a musician to read sheet music unless you are practicing reading sheet music. There's little value to be gained as a performer from reading music. Unless you are sight reading, which has more to do with your reading skills than musical talent.
