I think that in general most people learn good interpretation in the following manner:

1. Learn the technical mechanics of a piece on their own.
2. Learn your teacher's interpretation.
3. Learn another teacher's interpretation
4. Do a little research on the work, study how other people play it (I generally don't recommend listening to recordings before this point), and draw from your own experience to create your own interpretation.

In my opinion very little of a musician's training should be spent on technique. Everyone should possess roughly the same level of technique, and it should be the common denominator among players. A true musical education is more a maturing process, although one that has very little to do with age. It's exploring the piece and the composer's intent and the development of a background from which to project your own ideas.

That being said, it is extremely difficult to speak through a piece of music if it's not ably under your fingers and tongue.
