When we speak of synchrony, we are referring to the phenomenon by which two or more elements happen at the same time, in an even and balanced way, simultaneously. The term synchrony comes from the Greek "syn" (which means together or together) and "chronos" (which means time) so it can be understood as something that happens at the same time. Synchrony always tells us about a situation in which two people or two elements act jointly and evenly. Synchrony is very common in certain areas or circumstances as we will see below.
The notion of synchrony is especially used in certain situations, circumstances or for certain phenomena in particular. Thus, it is common to use the term synchrony when we speak, for example about music. This is so since it is important in the musical field that all the instruments that make up a band or an orchestra act synchronously. Otherwise, if they didn't, the sound would probably not be pleasant to the ear. This situation must be present regardless of the type of music that is played.
Synchrony is very important also in other artistic areas such as dance or dance, in which case the participating dancers must not only show synchronicity between their movements and the music but they must also do so with the rest of the dancers so make the final show nice and appropriate.
Finally, we can also speak of synchronicity in many aspects that have to do with science, with nature or empirical issues. Thus, for certain natural, physical or scientific research phenomena to occur, it is important that the condition of synchrony between the different acting parts be present in such a way that the final result is what is supposed and what is expected.
