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 math and music 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 at age 17.

Around graduation, Scúdhainn began to study with composers such as Cosca Síomha and to develop 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" (= piece for three ''ŋamsa'' and one ''ŋamsám'', typically structured in several movements) which she finished at 17. In the year 2253 she attempted to win the prestigious composition prize ''Farcadh Dalóra'', but she failed. On her second attempt in the year fT 2256 (at age 20) she won the prize with her ~~piece [Piece_1]~~, marking the first time ''Farcadh Dalóra'' was won by a woman.

After winning ''Farcadh Dalóra'' Scúdhainn reentered education at the University of Óc Eo as a doctoral student in mathematics, and was awarded a doctorate for her dissertation ''[~~Dissertation~~]'' (fT 2261) under the supervision of [[Verse:Líoc Dairsúŋán|Líoc Dairsúŋán]]. Shortly thereafter, Scúdhainn accepted professorship in the mathematics department of the University of Óc Eo.
