By listening to dozens of records and tapes in the family home he came into contact with many genres, including music for wind instruments. After his secondary school studies at St Gummarus College in Lier, he went on to study in the Conservatory and Music Education departments at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven, earning three degrees.

He completed his theoretical training at the Royal Conservatory in Ghent, with a first prize in fugue Julien Mestdagh. From he was also the conductor of the concert band at this institution. Van der Roost is a frequent jury member, guest lecturer and guest conductor both in Belgium and abroad: his activities have taken him to 35 countries on 4 continents.

Van der Roost has only infrequently taken part in composition competitions, although he has twice won prizes: in with Van Maan en Aarde From Moon and Earth for mixed choir competition organised by the Antwerp Provincial government and in for Excalibur for brass band competition organised by the Flemish Brass Band Federation. Jan Van der Roost has composed more than 90 works to date.

Since , all his compositions have been commissioned. His works for hafabra are generally more traditional and accessible than his symphonic works and his chamber music, which can be explained by the fact that most hafabra ensembles are generally made up of amateurs and are often geared to a different audience. This allowed Van der Roost to apply and develop a mostly tonal writing style.

In Per Archi for string orchestra , for example, he pays homage to Britten and Bartok.
