Riivo Sarapik, CEO & Creative Director
Pianist, educator, illustrator, and composer — the original creator of the Ozzy universe.
Our vision and passion
We believe that every child, in every school, deserves access to quality music education.
Mission: We help children discover the joy of music, building understanding, skills, and confidence through play, practice, and storytelling.
In every school, in every country. We believe music is essential. Even as music education loses time and funding worldwide, its role in children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development remains vital.
Understanding music is the key to truly making music — and every child deserves that opportunity.
Our story
The story of Ozzy began when Riivo Sarapik, then a young music teacher, noticed how easily children lost confidence when music theory felt abstract. Determined to change that, he began drawing, writing, and composing — creating Ozzy the owl and a world where music could be learned through play and storytelling.
Over the years, this vision grew into three beautifully illustrated Ozzy books, forming the pedagogical foundation for the digital platform schools use today.
