Rodney Takahashi was born and raised in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. Rodney was taught under the direction of the well known Roy Sakuma Studios. Today Rodney has his own little studio in the heart of San Jose’s Japan Town. There he teaches with hopes and dreams that the art of playing the ukulele will carry on. “The best feeling an instructor can have is when you hear them play something you’ve taught.’ I am truely blessed to have such great and talented students. Thank you all for making Ukulele Jams what it is today.
