Voice teacher for beginning teen - we live in west Castro Valley
My 17-year son is interested in learning to sing - opera for beginners. We live in Castro Valley at the end closest to San Leandro. I see recommendations for teachers north of Berkeley, but it would be nice to find someone no further than South Berkeley, Oakland/Alameda. San Leandro and Hayward are also convenient, as is San Ramon/Dublin/Pleasanton. If it was close to BART, it could be most anywhere.

My teenage son took voice lessons with John Scott in Alameda. My son was interested in a different type of music, so I can't speak to John's experience with opera. My son really enjoyed the lessons and only stopped because he went away for college.
This is John's website: http://jdsvoice.com/
Chad Runyon is an excellent teacher with a studio in Danville. He may also teach elsewhere, and will certainly know others to recommend if that's too far for you. His website is chadrunyon.com .
My friend's daughter took voice lessons from Matt Liebowitz in Castro Valley and loved it. It's hard to get in with him because he is so busy, and I can't find a website for him, but he is very well-regarded in the musical community.
