Forgive me for asking but...

What is meant by "technique"? I hear it very often but I'm not sure exactly what it means. I also would like to know how to better my technique (whatever it may be). Thank you for you patience and kindness.

Technique is the ability to precisely and accurately create the sounds one imagines in one's head using an instrument.

Developing technique consists, most of all, of careful listening and constant adjustments of one's motions (best done with the help of a knowledgeable teacher) to ultimately create the proper sounds.

Also, search the forum. This topic has been discussed many times.

You are forgiven .

To add to what xvimbi said, have a look here where the subject has been discussed further:

https://pianoforum.net/smf/index.php/board,4/topic,4880.3.html#msg46319
(how to acquire technique and what technique actually is)

https://pianoforum.net/smf/index.php/topic,4385.msg41226.html#msg41226
(definition of technique – technique is personal and relative to the piece – Fosberry flop – the best books on technique)

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

Perfect description.
Also described by Chopin to be "the ability to create a vary a beautiful sound quality"
