Re: Why learn etudes?

"You could. In a lot of popular genres like bluegrass and klezmer there aren't any real 'etudes', just easier and harder tunes, and those are considered a good training ground for learning technique."

I disagree with this. Etudes make a lot of sense in music where you will be required to move from a written score and improvise patterns and melodies over chord changes. The changes might be limited but you are not expected to be melodically limited when the bright light falls on you. Patterns that can be played in a number of keys, patterns that function to transition between parts, and so on, should all be there ready to be inserted. They might not call them etudes in bluegrass and klezmer but that is the work that they have been doing.
