Also, on the diferent blasts of a whistle, does anyone have any helpful hints on how to give the few short blasts, i've tried and tried, and i can't seem to blow short blasts out of my whistle.

You have to have short blasts of air in your whistle combined with hitting your tongue rapidly to the whistle. Think making a 't' sound, but repeating it over and over again: "t t t t t t t."

Just play around with it and practice - it will come with time.
