in cakephp4 how to access a model within a model

Question

How do i access another model within a model in cakephp4.2? The docs on this issue isnt clear to me and i can then run a query on this ? TableRegistry is deprecated now.

 error Unknown method "getTableLocator" called on App\Model\Table\LessonsTable  

//none of these no longer work
in model {

use Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorAwareTrait;


class LessonsTable extends Table
 {
 ..

  private function  getlessonRevenue(){

  //$clients = $this->getTableLocator()->get('Clients');
  // $cleints = TableRegistry::get('Clients'); 
  // $this->Table = TableRegistry::get('Clients');
   $clients = $this->getTableLocator()->get('Clients');
