Bill, I am thinking about doing 2D animations, but I have found that silent animations are very very weak so I decided I should learn to do music, for now my goal is to learn to read sheet music fluently and play it, figured that If I'm able to do that then I can start creating my own stuff, my end goal is to make video-game-weird music for my animations, is this a good way to go about it?
if music isn't already your area of expertise, i would suggest focusing on the words side of the audio spectrum. and if you would like to get into music, given the context of your situation i'm not sure if reading is the best place to start. reading is cool, but it's very far separated from what you're doing. you will learn to read anyway, in the computer way (which is a little different) assuming you are using computers to put video and audio together. but i would focus on the words, and sounds in general. because you already know how to do that
