go onto other forums and advertise there, also advertise on major bands my space’s through comments and things like that. leave the link in comments in relevant sites around the net also you could ask at music stores if you could put up a small poster in there store, A lot of music shops have a bulletin board where they advertise teachers and things like that. try contacting the street press such as rave and time out and see if they will put a small mention in the magazine somewhere for you the key is reaching your taget auidience.
