All the woodwinds are fairley common. Saxophone, clarinet, flute, oboe, basson, all have just about the same fingerings. Different ways when it comes to air support and the mouth. Brass is about the same in the mouth, but trombone, is well ...
... a slide instrument. I live with a band director, and unless you live in a really small community or become some kinda youth director, or start your own program, you have to be certified. So go to school if that is what you need. I have also been there. In my opinion, a Music Ed degree is one of the hardest to accomplish. But it like everthing else, can be done. So can teaching without a degree.

get a major in education for your graduate program and take the teacher certification for a music teacer.

You will have to need at least a bachelor's degree in Music, Music instruction and/or music performance and extra time to devote to getting a teaching credential.

Being proficient in a few instruments is a part of the process so if you know how to play a few already, that'll just make it easier. Because as long as you have the theory down, all you'll need to learn is fingerings, and proper embouchure.

To be a teacher, you have to have at least a Bachelor of Arts degree in music education and a teaching certificate. You can usually get both at the same time upon graduating from a university; in your required classes there will be some that are basically "How To Teach 101".

When you take a music education major(what you're going to have to do), some of the required classes you take will teach you the basics of each and every instrument. They group them together so the things you are learning are fairly similar, but you are taught ALL of them. You will also have to go through some singing classes, extensive music theory and extensive music history. You basically have to be extremely well versed in all aspects of music, but the classes you have to take in college should prepare you pretty well, as long as you do all the work you are assigned.
