You didn't learn musical notation in school in the US in the 80s? I started kindergarten in '91 and we did a bit on this every year started in 1st grade I think.
But not enough to become truly literate I'd say. But still, it was definitely part of the curriculum.

We had "music" class, which was mostly learning songs to sing and basic instruments, but those were more a "put finger here, then here, then here" type of thing. From 4'th grade+ we had optional band (which I was in), so I learned some there. But not part of a standard curriculum.
