Q: In order to advertise with a music store, you will need to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with one. Make phone calls to several of the nearest music stores. Let them know that you are a new piano instructor and inform them that you are looking for a good store to send your students to. When faced with the prospect of getting new customers, most music stores will be interested in building a good relationship with you. Determine which store seems to suit your needs best and let them know of your intention to direct students there. Then, ask them if you can leave business cards or pamphlets with them. If you can prove that you have a legitimate business, do not have a criminal record, and have the qualifications to teach piano, many schools will be willing to send a flyer home with their students. You can contact both public and private schools at all grade levels. Make sure that the flyer looks professional and includes all necessary contact information. If you have a place of worship and they have a bulletin board, ask permission to place a flyer there. If your church does not have a bulletin board but does have a weekly bulletin, ask about the possibility of putting a short announcement or insert in there. Many places of worship are very eager to help their members. Consider pinning a random flyer to a tree on a vacant back road or leaving one at your table for your waiter when you leave a restaurant or cafe (just make sure you leave a proper tip, as well, to avoid making a potential client angry). With as crowded as bulletin boards and traditional places of advertisement can be, advertising in an area that is not over-crowded with advertisements is an effective way to make your advertisement stand out. You may not reach many potential customers that way, but the ones you do reach will certainly remember you. Blogging can be an effective marketing tool as long as you know how to do it right. Learn how to optimize your blog for search engines. Make sure that your posts are informative and interesting, and be active enough in the blogging community to draw others to your own blog. An online video, posted to a popular online video community, can be a strong promotional tool. Get creative. The funnier or more interesting you can make the video, the more attention it will get. Your video does not need to go viral, but it helps to make it enough of an attention-grabber to attract a large number of hits. Start a Facebook page and Twitter account for your business. Be active on the social media sites you use, continually updating your pages and commenting on others' pages. The more attention you can attract, the more opportunity you have to advertise your lessons.
A: Contact nearby music stores. Ask the local schools to distribute your flyers. Pin a bulletin up on your church bulletin board. Look for creative places to advertise. Start a blog. Create an online video. Use social media.

Q: If you still have the name and contact information for the doctor or clinic that gave you immunizations, they typically have those records on file. In most cases, this is the fastest way to get your immunization record. To protect patient privacy, you may have to go to the office in person and show a government-issued photo ID before your records will be released to you. If a doctor has retired, or a clinic has changed ownership, medical records typically are sent to a medical record storage company. You can still get your immunization records through the company, but you may have to pay a small fee for retrieval and copying. Many schools require immunization records from attending students. It may be easier to get your immunization records from your school than from your healthcare provider, particularly if you moved around a lot or saw several different doctors. This option typically is only available if you recently graduated. To protect students' privacy, schools usually don't keep these records for more than a year or two after graduation. You may have filed your immunization records along with other important papers and later forgotten about them. If you're looking for childhood immunization documents, check in baby books and other records your parents may have kept. Old papers from your childhood also might show the name of your pediatrician or other healthcare provider, who you could then contact for help locating your immunization records. In many countries, including the United States, there isn't a national immunization registry. However, all states and many cities have voluntary registries where you might find information about vaccinations you've received. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has a list of contact information for immunization registries available at https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/iis/contacts-locate-records.html. You can also contact your local health department. Check the date the registry began to make sure it even existed when you would have gotten your immunizations. If you order your immunization record from a state or local registry, expect to pay a small fee (generally under $20). It may take a couple of weeks for you to receive your record in the mail.
A:
Call your healthcare provider. Contact schools where you submitted immunization records. Look through old papers in your home. Check with your local immunization registry.
