Re: Any thoughts on this?

Is your problem related to reading music about reading the pitches or getting the rhythm from the notes? I had the latter problem and my instructor and I worked on it for around 6 months tapping the foot (on the beat) and clapping hands (on the divisions) to the patterns in Reed's "Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer." This did fix my problem a lot plus it got me used to using a metronome.

If your problem is pitch reading, then you may have to bite the bullet and just learn them. They do make sheet music for beginning pianists that have the note names in them (plus the lilypond engraver has a setting for that, too, if you want to write your own sheet music). You might try that at the start until you get more comfortable.
