Scúdhainn was born in the city of Óc Eo to a semi-aristocratic background. Her father, Fúnchíd Scúdhainn, was a mathematics professor in the University of Óc Eo who composed in his spare time. Her mother, Osraí Brinne, was a socialite, classical ''ŋamas'' player and teacher. Her father's brother, Lothair Scúdhainn, was a renowned ''seobhoidhre'' player.

A precocious tomboy, early on she was taught mathematics and ''ŋamas'' by her parents. Scúdhainn started auditing music and math classes before she was 5. She was to a large extent self-taught in the boarding school curriculum, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries, music to listen to, and instruments to learn to play. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in the University of Óc Eo at age 11 by taking an entrance exam, and specialized in mathematics and music at age 17.

After graduation, Scúdhainn studied with composers such as Cobhar Síomha and developed a musical language characterized by showy, adventurous harmonic progressions and complex chords. She was also skilled in counterpoint, which was already evident in her first "string quartet" (a piece for three ''ŋamsa'' and one ''ŋamsám'') which she finished at 17. At age 20, she won the prestigious composition prize [Composition_Prize_1] for the year fT 2256 with her piece [Piece_1], the first time [Composition_Prize_1] was won by a woman.
