Backwards Happy Birthday (!Yadhtrib Yppah) – How We Made it!

Image
Yadhtrib Yppah is a project Papa and I (Magnolia) did to practice our IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) knowledge for my homeschool linguistics class, and to make a fun video for friends' and family's birthdays. (If you haven’t figured it out yet, “Yadhtrib Yppah” is Happy Birthday backwards.) Below is an explanation of how we made the video.  1a. Transcribe the lyrics to Happy Birthday  into IPA ˈhaˌpi ˈbəɹθˌdeɪ tu yu ˈhaˌpi ˈbəɹθˌdeɪ tu yu ˈhaˌpi ˈbəɹθˌdeɪ diɹ ___(name)___ ˈhaˌpi ˈbəɹθˌdeɪ tu yu 1b. Reverse it uy ut ˌɪedˈθɹəb ˌipˈah  __(backwards name)__ ɹid ˌɪedˈθɹəb ˌipˈah uy ut ˌɪedˈθɹəb ˌipˈah  uy ut ˌɪedˈθɹəb ˌipˈah 2. Write sheet music for Happy Birthday  & Reverse it 3. Practice saying the lyrics of Happy Birthday  backwards As said:  https://youtu.be/NKJwkW5sBRY Reversed:  https://youtu.be/I28VM95T7ZY 4. Practice playing the music of  Happy Birthday backwards on the piano As played:  https://youtu.be/pCA_VajRgJY Revers...
