For anyone else considering this method, I don't recommend it. I, unfortunately, taught myself the alphabet backwards one day when I was REALLY sick and needed to lie down completely still in a silent room (so I was too bored to do anything else).
Now, I sometimes get confused about what letter comes next. If I'm at `G` am I supposed to say, GFEDCBA or am I supposed to go from my forwards anchor of ABCDEFGH ? This happens when I'm at a nice anchor in my backwards memorization that's a non-anchor in my forwards memorization.
But I mean, yeah, neat party trick that I can say ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA (and also type it really quickly).
Interestingly, my breaks are different from the parent commenter's:
ZYXWVUT
SRQP
ONMLK
JIH
GFEDCBA (this part was easy from the start because I played piano)

No alphabet song involved at all.
