Is it best to learn the basics of reading music before learning an instrument?

Or is it best to learn to read it with the instrument? I have no experience with readnig music and I thought I should learn the basics before I start to play the violin.

I want to learn how to play the violin but.

camlross asked:

I can’t read music.
To be honest, back at school music lessons never really interested me, although now I am older I hold a much higher appreciation to music and musicians. An instrument that particularly interests me the violin. Personally I have never played one, but I do know that you must be very talented to play well. To be honest I don’t really know what my question is. Do musicians ever start off playing the violin as their first instrument? And how do you learn to read music and is it difficult as it looks? In order to end up playing well, would I have to have started off at a very young age? Any other feedback from violinists regard this issue would be appreciated.
