I think the value of it is, that this is what music was built from is worth it. Classical music is called such as it is what music was born from, all music today started here. I would never count anything to do with the music industry pointless, being able to read tabs is good, to me a bit of a cheat, but I read it as well as sheet so there we go. Reading sheet music is a talent in its own which, to me if you want to call yourself a commited musician you would want to learn it. The worlds getting lazy and it does make me sad that people don't want to learn even the most ancient of forms. Or even acknowledge its importance. My own opinions here agree or dont. To me though if you want to be commited, you'd want to learn notes, even the basics.
