Cannot get AudioClip to work with Javafx

Question

I'm trying to get AudioClip to play a WAV file using my Professors animation template but I can't seem to get it to work. I get the following errors:

Exception in thread "Thread-4" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 

uri.getScheme() == null! uri == 'sounds/select.wav'

The WAV file is in the project folder, as well as the source folder just to be safe. I used to code for AudioClip from Oracles website.

package audioclip;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.canvas.Canvas;
import javafx.scene.canvas.GraphicsContext;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.media.AudioClip;

        Group root = new Group();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        root.getChildren().add(canvas);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
        GraphicsContext gc = canvas.getGraphicsContext2D();

        // This code starts a "thread" which will run your animation
        Thread t = new Thread(() -> animate(gc));
        t.start();
    }

        AudioClip select = new AudioClip("sounds/select.wav");
        select.play();

    }

        try {

        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
        }
    }

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
