Adding Music To Java

I'm making connect four for my high school cpt and I'm trying to add music to the background and for sound effects. My teacher gave me some code to work with, but since I have never worked with sound I don't understand how to use it. Can someone please explain the code that I was given? Thanks for your help!

try {
  AudioInputStream audio = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("SoundFile.wav"));//use wav. mp3 doesn't work
  Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
  clip.open(audio);
  clip.start();
} 
catch(UnsupportedAudioFileException uae) {
  System.out.println(uae);
} 
catch(IOException ioe) { 
  System.out.println(ioe);
} 
catch(LineUnavailableException lua) { 
  System.out.println(lua);
}
Solution
