How to play B♭ on piano

The B♭ chord is B♭ D F: B♭ (root), D (major 3rd), F (perfect 5th).

Right hand: thumb on B♭, then fingers 3 and 5 on D and F. Left hand: finger 5 on B♭, 3 and 1 on the notes above.

Each inversion moves the bottom note up an octave. Practicing them in a row teaches your hand the same chord in three shapes, so you can reach it from wherever your hand already is.
