How to play C♯m on piano

The C♯m chord is C♯ E G♯: C♯ (root), E (minor 3rd), G♯ (perfect 5th).

Right hand: thumb on C♯, then fingers 3 and 5 on E and G♯. Left hand: finger 5 on C♯, 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.
