I was just wondering if you could play only a couple of instruments and just KNOW about the others, but I don’t know if you have to learn to play every single one like professionally. How many years of school do you need to have to be a music teacher? What kinds of things do you learn in university?
Thanks in Advance!

To become a music teacher you need music education degree from an accredited college or university. in most of the colleges, it is 4 years program.
In addition you need to learn only how to play on couple of instruments.
The musical keyboards might be a good start for the learning of the musical instruments.
Do you have to play all musical instruments to be a music teacher?

To really call yourself a teacher, you should fully understand Music Theory.
If you only know how to play one or two instruments, you could probably teach a beginner on those.
Julliard is about 4 years at a cost $150K. That’s probably not for everyone.
If you are interested in a great book.

I’m studying Music Theory, only as a hobby. I’ll never use it at my age.
