If each note is supported by a chord, it's homophony.
Double-stopping is the instrumental technique that uses mostly a single melody instrument that violinists can also play chords.
"Melody" is the tune of the song. There are melody notes and harmony notes (generally the chords). If you want to play only the melody, you will be playing a single line - one note at a time. If you're still unsure of what the melody is, think to yourself: "What part of the song would I sing or hum?" That's the melody.
Simple melodies are easier than chords are easier than mad solos. Ask yourself what you really want to play.
A melody is a linear succession of musical tones which is perceived as a single entity. Basically a melody is a combination of pitch and rhythm. A harmony is the use of simultaneous pitches or chords.

Ummm . . . you play single notes on a flute, not chords. ?
You don't get chords on the flute. You can only play single notes.
No, basso continuo adds chords to the base line whereas in ground bass instruments play a single short melody many times. The two techniques can be used together however.
Melody is the succession of single tones of varying pitch. Melody is the linear aspect of music, in contrast to harmony, the chordal aspect, which results from the simultaneous sounding of tones. Melody must be considered with rhythm.Rhythm is the the basic temporal element of music, concerned with duration and with stresses or accents whether irregular or organized into regular patternings.Harmony is the simultaneous sounding of two or more tones and, especially, the study of chords and their relations. Harmony was the last in the development of what may be considered the basic elements of modern music-harmony, melody, rhythm, and tone.
