If monotone were a thing I would be the worlds best soloist.

But you are, or aren't you?

Sex in the desert describes it quite well, too Too bad there is no translation (in short sex when you have a sunburn and it is way too hot anyway is not a good idea)

Or when everything is so perfect that it just becomes a boring monotony (second part of the song)

I will never get that 8 minutes back.

Section playing in general is done without vibrato unless you’re pretending to be a big band from the 30s

That - like singing back-up; generally speaking, no vibrato. This also applies to any time you're playing 'horn parts' even if you're the only horn. There are exceptions, of course, but part of being 'pro' is knowing when to do what.

My band teacher thinks I need a rounder tone. What do you guys think?

Don’t Get A ‘Round Much Anymore?

Monotone has a very clear original latin meaning: mono tone, 1 tone only.

Samba de uma nota so.

Would be my recommendation to someone needing to work on his articulation and dynamics. Don’t move your fingers, concentrate on how the attack and decay sound. From pp to ff, and back.

By extension, at least in French, it is used to qualify something boring, always sounding about the same. It could apply to music. Gregorian songs ? Kenny G ?

That's it. Mono= one Tone= note

It's strange that an educated MUSIC teacher would use that term. A speech teacher yes. A music teacher no.

Tone doesn't refer to the note but to the tension/activity level but a single note can also be monotonous
