It depends on each instrument. Strings and some band instruments such as Trombone, tuba, and flute are in the key of C so you don't have to transpose them. Other instruments like Clarinet and Trumpet are in the key of B flat so if you want them to play a C you have to tell them to play a D because everything they play sounds a A whole note below what you tell them to play. Not all band instruments are in the key of B flat thought. French horn and English horn for example are in the key of F. There are many different kinds of instruments and different keys they are in.

How do you transpose from major to minor keys in music?
You cannot transpose from a major key to a minor key. You can change the key of a piece, but transposition must be either major or minor. Actually you can transpose from major to minor but it won't always sound right. First write down the chord functions for each chord in the major key (eg. I ii iii IV V VI viio). Then write down the interval of each melody note (eg. C over a G chord is a perfect fifth). Then for the minor key write out the chords using the chord functions as your guide. So if C was in major key, acting as I chord, in the key of Am you would have an Am chord. In minor keys we use a mixture of natural minor, harmonic and melodic minor which affects which chords you will use in your minor key. For example, in the key of Am the V chord might be E major (not E minor) using the G# from the melodic minor scale (or harmonic minor scale). It has a stronger resolution. For the melody use minor intervals instead of major intervals - so use minor 3rd instead of major 3rd, minor 6ths and 7ths. So if you had an E melody over C chord in major key you would have C melody note over Am chord. This doesn't always work but can get you started.
