In the sense that you're implying here, I myself would not use the word 'force' to a student when describing the act of playing.
But unfortunately, if you deny that there ARE any forces – say acting between the lips and the reed, or between the fingers and the toneholes – then there is no vocabulary to characterise the situation. That it's not useful to talk about 'pushing' the gas pedal to a learner driver doesn't alter the fact that, in the end, that's what happens to make the car go.
The work of ............Paul Aviles is very inconsequential here. He has a strong presence; but his persistent misunderstandings and obfuscations over the years have done considerable damage to intelligent enquiry.
I strongly deny that he and I represent different 'sides', because his side is, mostly, nonsense.
