After passing a difficult exam, he won a scholarship that allowed him to continue his studies in the prestigious Academy of Music of San Pietro a Maiella in Naples where he met the best teachers of the time, like Florestano Rossomandi, Alessandro Longo and Beniamino Cesi.
Disappointed and annoyed by the excessive bureaucratic rules of the Italian educational system that in his opinion hampered the freedom of expression of a teacher, after only two months teaching in Naples, Scaramuzza decided to leave Italy.
It was the year 1907 when he moved to Argentina, where he really started his career as a teacher at the Santa Cecilia Academy of Music, in Buenos Aires.
He was well known all over South and North America and Europe for the absolute confidence with which he was able to perform even the most challenging pieces of the repertoire thanks to his formidable technique that allowed him a complete mastery of the instrument.
He taught many well-known international classical pianists such as Martha Argerich, Michèle Boegner, Bruno Leonardo Gelber, Carmen Piazzini, Daniel Levy, Mauricio Kagel, Fausto Zadra, Alberto Portugheis[2] and Enrique Barenboim, father of Daniel Barenboim, not forgetting Maria Cristina Filoso, and Monica Stirpari who released in 2009 a CD of homage to her teacher.
He also taught tango pianists Arminda Canteros, Osvaldo Pugliese, Horacio Salgán, Atilio Stampone, Orlando Goñi, Antonio de Raco and Sylvia Kersenbaum.
He left no record of his teaching system as a book, but one of his students, Maria Rosa Oubiña de Castro, reconstructed it from material he wrote down in his lifetime.
