Just a couple of small improvements:
* convert the number of notes to sing to a number before storing it in the
  how_many variable, rather than doing it every time you use the variable:

  how_many = gets.chomp.to_i

  This allows you to remove the .to_i when you use how_many

* you don't need to call to_y on the result of rand(7), as it already returns
  an integer
