Thread: How to Parse MusicXML file using DOM parser?

Hi everyone, I am trying to parse musicXML file using DOM. However I am getting some error which I cant figure out why. Can someone help me to find this issue I am having and also can someone check if my coding is correct in terms or XML tree structure. The following code I have written sofar. I have attached the xml file that I am trying to work on.
