Just for the record, I am 'classically trained', having learned to
play the piano (badly) and the French Horn (well) while at school, and
followed this by playing in an Orchestra at University
In my case, the effect this has had is that I did not have to learn
how to keep rhythm, recognise the start of a bar, avoid key clashes
etc. when I taught myself to mix. What effect it has had on my musical
taste I cannot discern - I followed a route from pop radio through rap
and funk to dance/house to techno and beyond...
