Armonía en música es el uso de alturas (tonos, notas) o acordes simultáneos. Desde una perspectiva general, armonía es el equilibrio de las proporciones entre las distintas partes de un todo y su resultado siempre connota belleza. En música, el estudio de la armonía implica los acordes y su construcción, así como las progresiones de acordes y los principios de conexión que los rigen.Por lo general se suele entender que la armonía hace referencia al aspecto «vertical» (simultáneo en el tiempo) de la música, que se distingue del aspecto «horizontal» (la melodía formada por la sucesión de notas en el tiempo).

In music, harmony is the use of simultaneous pitches (tones, notes), or chords. The study of harmony involves chords and their construction and chord progressions and the principles of connection that govern them. Harmony is often said to refer to the "vertical" aspect of music, as distinguished from melodic line, or the "horizontal" aspect. Counterpoint, which refers to the interweaving of melodic lines, and polyphony, which refers to the relationship of separate independent voices, are thus sometimes distinguished from harmony. In popular and jazz harmony, chords are named by their root plus various terms and characters indicating their qualities. In many types of music, notably baroque, romantic, modern, and jazz, chords are often augmented with "tensions". A tension is an additional chord member that creates a relatively dissonant interval in relation to the bass. Typically, in the classical common practice period a dissonant chord (chord with tension) "resolves" to a consonant chord. Harmonization usually sounds pleasant to the ear when there is a balance between the consonant and dissonant sounds. In simple words, that occurs when there is a balance between "tense" and "relaxed" moments.
