The reading music section is there to help you learn to read well enough so you can play from written sheet music. In other language, the reading music section is present so that it might forward your literacy in the written language of music.

You could think of it all like this:
If you didn’t know how to read, how would things be different? Someone would have to read this website to you, the newspaper wouldn’t make sense, magazines would be unintelligible, you would have never read a book, and ordering food at a restaurant would be difficult at best since you wouldn’t be able to read the menu. If that were the case, others would label you illiterate.

In music, not being able to read sheet music is being illiterate in music. A hundred thousand songs may be available to you in your local area, many perhaps in a nearby library, and they are not available to you if you can’t read sheet music. Tunes of past and tunes of present unable to be known by you unless someone else plays them.
