Reading MIDI files in Java

I'm trying to read in .MID files to a Java program, and would like to separate each note/chord so as to display them on a UI of some sort. I didn't have much luck using the Sequencer API in Java, and trying to use MidiFileReader directly didn't work for me either. I'll attach the code I used here, if anyone wants to see it:

package miditest;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.sound.midi.InvalidMidiDataException;
import javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem;
import javax.sound.midi.MidiUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.midi.Sequence;
import javax.sound.midi.Sequencer;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InvalidMidiDataException, IOException, MidiUnavailableException{
    Sequence sequence = MidiSystem.getSequence(new File("test.mid"));

    // Create a sequencer for the sequence
    Sequencer sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer();
    sequencer.open();
    sequencer.setSequence(sequence);

    // Start playing
    sequencer.start();
    }
}
