There's a story about a man who asks a musician he meet on the street, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall." The musician replied "Practice, man, practice!"
There are so many musical terms and conventions that it is impossible to remember them all. I've been playing for decades, and still see things I don't recognize. On the other hand, with all that experience, I've learned many things that I originally thought would be impossible to learn.
My best advice is to get a simple music dictionary and a simple theory book or two with indexes. When you run across something you don't know, look it up. You'll be surprised how much you'll learn and how quickly.
