I always thought that technique was a middle class affectation and I was always broadly proud of my ignorance. I've recently started taking piano lessons and I realise that actually, to be able to play some things, you need a specific type of technique. And as with singing lessons, so much of that technique is about a) maximising your ability to find your own voice, and b) avoiding damage to your body.
I'm still culturally punk rock, and fuck lessons, and DIY, and all that. But secretly I do recognise the value of takign lessons from someone from a formal cultural background.
