How to play E♭m on piano

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

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