Force one to study music (9)

I believe the answer is:

constrain

'force' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one to study music' is the wordplay.
'one to study' becomes 'con' (con can mean to study).
'music' becomes 'strain' (strain is a kind of music).
'con'+'strain'='CONSTRAIN'

(Other definitions for constrain that I've seen before include "Restrict the extent of" , "Check" , "Lock up" , "Severely restrict" , "Confine, limit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
