Hello, music enthusiasts!  My name is Jeff Belding, player of various stringed instruments.  Creating and making music as well as sharing it with audiences and students, has been my life’s work and passion.  In keeping with that sentiment, welcome to my website “Music Along the Way.”

and why not order a handy sketchbook while you’re at it?

I welcome any of your questions or comments about my books or blog.  I would like to think of this website as a sharing of ideas rather than a one-way street.  

If you purchased any of my books I’d greatly appreciate it if you would post a helpful, relevant review on Amazon based on your honest opinion and experience.
