A precocious tomboy, early on Rjoht was taught mathematics and ''ngjeoms'' by her parents. She 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 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 Flian at age 10 by taking an entrance exam, and specialized in mathematics at age 16. | ||
Around graduation, Hjeonvix began to study with composers such as Cosca Síomha and to develop a musical language characterized by showy, adventurous harmony. She was also skilled in counterpoint, which was already evident in her first "string quartet" (= piece for three ''ngjeoms'' and one ''ngjeomsam'', typically structured in several movements) which she finished at 16. In fT 2252 she attempted to win the prestigious composition prize ''[prize]'', but failed<!--; her entry was deemed "too abstract for one to judge her capability of expression"-->. 4 On her second attempt in fT 2255 (at age 19) she won the prize with her ''[some cantata or mini-opera]'', marking the first time ''[prize]'' was won by a woman. | Around graduation, Hjeonvix began to study with composers such as Cosca Síomha and to develop a musical language characterized by showy, adventurous harmony.
