Kevin Ure joined the music faculty at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2016. Ure hosts the Composing Hour Masterclass Series, a private online lecture series that teaches composers how to create intuitively, develop a "composer's ear," and refine their compositional style. 

Ure is the author of several music theory and ear training textbooks and aural training resources. The Musical Core: Essential Theory and Aural Training for Musicians (2018) incorporates techniques combining theory and basic ear training. The Elements of Music Composition (2021) teaches an organic approach to composing music. The Music Composition Technique Builder (2021) teaches musicians how to develop the ability to audiate music. To supplement his texts, he also created the Music Composition Technique Builder Audio (2021). The release offers a four-hour collection of aural training etudes and materials to help musicians develop aural skills. 

As a composer and theorist, he has taught courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels in counterpoint, form and analysis, music theory, aural training, and composition. Kevin Ure works extensively with technology and has aided the UNLV School of Music with creating online undergraduate and graduate placement exams for music theory and ear training. Ure holds music composition degrees from The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (BM) and graduated from The University of Arizona (MM). He also studied electronic music composition at Western Michigan University under Dr. Richard Adams.
 
As a composer, Kevin Ure uses the overtone series to create a tonality brand that embraces chromaticism and attempts to expand upon many of the concepts employed in traditional tonality. He writes primarily for wind symphony, chamber ensembles, brass bands, and solo instruments. Ure has also released two recordings of his music, including The Beast of Gevaudan (2003) and Soliloquy (2009). His works are published through iTunes, Amazon, Soundcloud, UreMusic.com, and other online retailers. His primary composition instructors included Virko Baley, Don Hannah, Daniel Asia, Dr. Craig Walsh, Dr. Pamela Decker, and Curtis-Curtis Smith.
