Beginner WP8 Develop & Mysql

I am developing a appointment application for one of my final projects for my database development class. I just have a question as to how would I connect to my remote sql server to pull customer information. I have read online that I should build a front end service and pull my info that way. I just want the easiest way to communicate to my server to pull customer info from my database. Thank you!
 
AFAIK, you need to build a web service that connects to you SQL Server and provides the data (typically via XML or JSON) to your app. I would recommend Web API V2, Entity Framework and publish to a free Azure website.
