Connecting Dm and A on the piano: What are the fingerings to fluidly connect these 2 chords?

The steps to easily link these 2 chords are as follows:

  1. Place your thumb on A, your middle finger on D, then your little finger on F (D minor 2nd inversion)
  2. To continue with the A chord, keep your thumb on A and play with your index finger on C sharp and the ring finger on E. Indeed, by positioning your middle finger and your little finger on D and F, you notice that C sharp and E are just below your index and ring fingers.

Chaining Dm and A on the piano: What are the advantages of this sequence?

  1. Your hand hardly moves from the D minor chord to the A chord.
  2. By playing with all the fingers on your hand, you become familiar with their use, which strengthens the muscles and encourages even the laziest to play. Fingerings on the piano are of great importance, because they improve your playing comfort.
  3. Thanks to the fingerings, you can string together your chords without having to look at your hands.
