JavaFX program with MySQL isn’t working because “this.Music” is null

Need help! I don’t quite understand what’s wrong with my code – can someone point it out to me, please?

I am working on JavaFX, creating a program with two windows. In the second window, there is a table with columns. I created my database in MySQL, added some data to it, and it works pretty well. I used mysql-connector-java-8.0.29 to connect these two. Also, it should be noted that I wrote all the code in my First Controller (the Controller of the first window), and not in the Second Controller.

I wrote the code that would’ve displayed my table with some data on my program. But I’m getting the same mistake again and again: ” java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke “javafx.scene.control.TableColumn.setCellValueFactory(javafx.util.Callback)” because “this.Music” is null “

I tried everything on the Internet and searched for some similar problems but nothing helps. I noticed if I change the variable “Music” to “#Music” my program at least runs: only the UI of my Table without any MySQL Database data. java.lang.NullPointerException says

Music:setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<>("Music")); in IPS_Controller.loadDate() (filter:null)
private TableColumn<Soil_Condition, Integer> Music; in IPS_Controller

But what does it mean? What should I change?
