Monophony

Monophony is like singing alone by yourself. Imagine you are the only one singing at a big concert. There are no other singers or instruments playing with you, it's just your voice. You sing your favorite song and everyone listens to you.

In music, monophony means there is only one melody. A melody is a tune that goes up and down. It's like when you hum a tune while walking. Have you ever heard a song where only one person is singing or playing an instrument? That's monophony. There are no other voices or instruments that make different sounds.

When someone sings alone, they can make the song sound happy or sad by using different notes. These notes are like musical letters that make different sounds. They can make a high sound or a low sound or even a medium sound. Think of it like different colors on a painting palette.

So, monophony is when there is only one melody without any other voices or instruments playing along. It's like listening to just one person singing or playing a musical instrument. It can be a lot of fun to listen to the melody all by itself and feel the emotions of the song.
