There are many reasons why WHEN LEARNING A NEW INSTRUMENT IT IS BETTER TO START WITH PLAYING IMPROVISATIONS RATHER THAN PLAYING FROM MUSICAL SHEETS (SCORES).
2) It is more pleasant and self-rewarding to improvise melodies where there are not wrong and right notes (except by very tolerant rules: e.g. more than 50% of the time notes inside the underlying chord or diatonic scale). Therefor we manage to play satisfying melodies within less time.
3) It is a better fit of the music played with our underlying emotions, which feeds back our desire to go on learning.
4) It feeds easier and faster our self-esteem in learning.
5) The standard writing and notation system of the musical melodies in a pentagram , with its sharps and flats and two only numbers for the rhythm ,is not the most efficient , smart and with clarity system of notating music. The appearance of software for music has made it quite clear.

1) It is the natural way that the brain learns , as when we learned to speak and talk, which also gives a better internalisation of the music. Educating the subconscious so as to be able to create hundreds of different melodies over a single chord progression is by far more efficient and profound than just education the memory to remember one melody over a chord progression to repeat it note by note.

In conclusion it is more natural, more efficient and faster in producing and playing music, more profound, more pleasant , and eventually more beautiful and attractive from the point of view of the listeners.
Of course at a particular phase of the learning process we will have to learn reading music sheets and play melodies from them, as it was also the case when we learned reading and writing on our natural language.
In addition to improvise requires having listened to melodies that we like a lot many more hours, than just playing a melody that we do not know from a musical sheet. So although it feels easier at the end, ir requires more work in educating the subconscious by listening carefully and repeatedly to melodies and music that we like.
