How to play Dm on piano

The Dm chord is D F A: D (root), F (minor 3rd), A (perfect 5th).

Right hand: thumb on D, then fingers 3 and 5 on F and A. Left hand: finger 5 on D, 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.
