Piano Chords b Flat
The Bb chord like other major chords is a triad and consists of three notes. Since it is a major chord it has a happy, optimistic sound, as opposed to minor chords which create a sad mood. Like other major chords, B flat major is formed by combining the root note, major third, and perfect fifth of the major scale. These notes are B flat, D, and F, respectively.

To play a B flat chord in root position (right hand), place your 1st finger (thumb) on Bb, your 3rd finger (middle finger) on D and your 5th finger (little finger) on F. B flat is the black key before middle C. It’s actually one tone before middle C. To arrive at D, move two tones higher than Bb. To arrive at F, move one and a half tones higher than D. If you’re playing by ear, a simple way to put it is to skip two white notes after Bb and place your finger on D, then skip one white note after D and place your finger on F. Play these three notes together and you have a B flat major chord.
