trio

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'group' is the definition.
(a group of three)

'one beginning to have change of heart' is the wordplay.
'one beginning' says to take the initial letters.
'have' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'change of heart' becomes 'rio' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'to' is 't'.
't'+'rio'='TRIO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trio that I've seen before include "Ensemble musical piece, eg Beethoven's 'Archduke'" , "Beethoven's 'Archduke': famous piece written for this ensemble" , "Group of Magi?" , "Band of three" , "Group of three (musicians)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
