The A scale is a bit more tricky as we introduce the concept of "half-holing" or covering only a part of the hole. This is necessary to produce the G sharp that's found in the A scale. Definitely practice this scale slowly so you can make sure that your G sharp sounds correctly.

In the fingering chart you start from A note that is on the third space. I have found a music sheet for "Whiskey in a jar" that is played in A, but the notes go under the third space. I was wondering if it's possible to produce the notes on a regular D whistle, or should I just play the whole thing one octave higher?

if you play the whistle for like a reeally long time
can you memorise the finger settings so you can play just from your head?
