Where it sits
One note of this chord (Bb) is on black keys, so play it a little further back on the keys than an all-white shape.
Press all 3 keys at the same time. Keep your wrist relaxed and your fingers curved. The blue dots on the piano below show exactly which keys to press — they turn green when you play the right note.
